Osifeso said the police responded to a distress call from residents of Oguntula area of Ojoo at about 0100hrs on Thursday that armed robbers had invaded the area and were creating havoc.

 

“At the point of reaching the crime scene, one Ebenezer Ayeni had already been shot and rushed to Oyemesi Hospital, along with Olayemi Josiah, who had sustained cuts on the head and neck, Osifeso said.”
