The victim who managed to put herself together said she quickly incidented the report with the Police waiting for the next line of action. The suspects are Tunde Sadiq Taiwo, 22, Dam I lol a Adesina 20 and Adegoke Amos 21.
On the strength of the report, the Divisional Police Officer, Ilese Division, SO Yakubu Bala, mobilized his detectives and stormed their hideout where one of the suspects was arrested. The arrested one led the Police to his colleagues afterwhich they were subsequently arrested.
