The arrest of Adebayo and a member of the gang named Sunday Olubushe a.k.Ajegunle was conducted by the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team in Oyo state after they engaged in a shootout with some soldiers who attempted to halt their operation in Mokola area of the state.
Adebayo who immediately after the faceoff with soldiers fled to his girlfriend’s house to nurse his wounds, but unfortunately for him, he was traced there and arrested. He also led the Police to where Olubushe was and he was also arrested. Although the third member is still on the run.
Accorrding to the Police source;
“They told us that it was one Baba Esther that usually assisted them in buying guns at the rate of N30,000. One Lambe helped them to get their ammunition for N17,000. Judgement and his gang stayed in a hotel around Ibadan from where they launched their attacks,”.
Adebayo ( the leader) who only finished school in 2015 and went to learn a handwork which was barbing for 6months.
He said;
“I finished secondary school in 2015 and started learning barbing. After six months, my boss asked me to look for money for my freedom. I started riding a commercial motorcycle. I met one Lekan, also known as Corporal, who introduced me to robbery.
“We started by stealing motorcycles from where they were parked at night. Within a year, I stole many motorcycles in Ibadan together with Corporal before we switched into full-time armed robbery.”
He mentioned that they bought guns and went for their first robbery operation in the Ikire area of Osun State on two motorcycles and during this first robbery he broke his leg and was arrested after neighbors raised an alarm.
“I broke my leg in that operation. I was arrested and taken to the station, where I spent about one month. I was later released when the pain from my injured leg was too much and the people who brought me to the station were not forthcoming.
“I went home and my gang members took care of me. They brought my share after every operation. I rejoined the gang when I got healed and we started doing ‘stop-and-search robbery.’
“Whenever we see people walking on the road, we would stop and search them with our guns and take valuables found on them. We did this in the morning and in the evening and we were doing it all over Ibadan.”
He went on to narrate just a few of the operations that thry carried out,the people they killed because of resistance and the ones they stole valuables from.
“When we got there, the owner of the house hit me on the head with a big iron and I fell. I was bleeding and asked my boys to pin the man to the ground. I hacked him to death with a machete. We left without getting the money we went for.” This was a robbery they went for in the airport area of Ibadan.
“The second person I killed was in March 2020. We attacked a woman operating a bar around 11pm in Ojo area. One of my boys known as Tunde grabbed the woman’s bag from her and when we were about to leave, the woman poured drinks on my face and held me.
“She was trying to prevent me from escaping. I became angry and shot her. I killed her on the spot. I also carried out some robberies in Lagos State.”
While being paraded during the week, the gang leader, who hails from Osun State, said he was introduced to robbery while he was trying to raise money for his freedom after completing his apprenticeship as a barber.
