They pleaded not guilty to the offences preferred against them.

Prosecuting Counsel from the Ministry of Justice, Barrister Bewaji Adeniji told the Court that โ€œon the December 7, 2018, at a place near C.A.C No. 16, Oke-Onitea Area, Osogbo, Wasiu Afolayan and kola Adeyemi laid siege in the area and robbed people living in that community.

โ€œWasiu Afolayan was arrested at the scene of the crime, while Police investigation led to the arrest of Kola Adeyemi at Ikire through the confession of wasiu Afolayan who mentioned him as his co-gang member.โ€

Meanwhile, it was also revealed that the same armed robbery gang on November 26, 2018, earlier robbed the No. 3, Oduola, Street, Igbona area, Osogbo, Osun State, where they carted away belongings of the of the residents and also shot to death one Olaniyi Adewale during the robbery operation and escaped.

Justice Oyebiyi in his judgment said that the prosecuting counsel had proved the charges against the accused persons beyond reasonable doubt and found them guilty of the offences preferred against them.

Counsel to the suspects, Adeshina Olaniyan had earlier pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy because his clients were first offenders.
