Osifeso said also that the suspects invaded a house at Okun Compound, Molete in Oyo town on Monday at about 2.20 a.m., armed with guns, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons and murdered one Jimoh Akeem.

“The complainant managed to escape from the attack, but the deceased who shared his apartment and was sleeping at the time was not able to escape and was gruesomely murdered.

“The assailants vandalised properties in the house and fled with some valuable items,’’ Osifeso said.

He said police investigations at the respective hideouts of two of the suspects led to their arrest.
