I took part in killing, teenager tells police

A 16-year-old boy, Rilwan Okegbenro, has told the police in Lagos that he was a member of the gang which killed a man, Olawale Adebayo, at Ikorodu, recently.

 Okegbenro and 17 others were arrested yesterday during a raid on criminal hideouts by operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS). 
According to the police, Okegbenro confessed to have participated in last month’s murder of Adebayo (22), behind Wema Bank on Sagamu Road, Ikorodu.
The teenager mentioned two other members of the gang, Ahmed and Taoreed, who took part in the murder but are now at large. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Dolapo Badmos, said a manhunt for the two suspects had commenced.
The PPRO said aside the teenager’s confession, Adebayo’s brother, Ismaila Balogun, had identified the suspect as one of the killers. She said: “The raid was done in collaboration with local vigilantes on various black spots within Sabo, Odogunyan and Igbogbo community all in Ikorodu and 18 suspects were arrested after the raid.
