The Commissioner of Police, Ayodele Sonubi, revealed during a press conference that Lekan Taiwo and Olasunkanmi Oluwaseyi, two suspected armed robbers, had been arrested in connection with the murder of Yisa Mohammed in Oyo State. Alongside the duo, a total of 41 suspects were paraded by the police command at the briefing, showcasing the force’s efforts to combat crime and ensure justice.
Lekan Taiwo, one of the robbery suspects, confessed that he and his accomplice, Olasunkanmi Oluwaseyi, would often engage in illicit activities with married women while burglarizing homes. According to Lekan, they would instruct the husband to face down and threaten to harm him if he attempted to look up. He claimed they were unaware that sexually assaulting adult women was also a criminal offense. Lekan revealed that they did not wear masks during their crimes, making it easier for their victims to identify them.
As reported by The Vanguard News, Lekan Taiwo said, “Yes, that is true, but not all of them. Also, the elderly females were usually in their 50s and 60s, not up to 70 years old. Also, we used to sleep with married women whenever we were in the house of a couple. We would ask the husband to lie down, facing the floor. Any man who tried to raise his head would be beaten. So the men had no choice other than to do as we ordered while we had our way. We were not touching female children and teenagers because we learned that the law calls it a crime. We didn’t know that the same applies to adult females. We were not covering our faces during our operations.”….Seē _ Morē
