He claimed that while Shittu specialized in house burglary, Olanrongbe was usually the one who received the stolen goods.

Laptops, Android phones, phone accessories, DVD players, and other valuables were recovered from the suspects’ hideout.

“On November 7, around 1 p.m., the command received a complaint about a case of housebreaking from one Yemisi Adefila of Oko Oba Area, Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin.”

“The complainant accused Moshood Shittu of breaking into her parents’ house and stealing a GOtv decoder, a cylinder DVD player, and other valuables,” Afolabi stated.

He claimed that during interrogation, Shittu confessed to the crime and led NSCDC detectives to the home of his accomplice (Olarongbe), which was located at G220, Yekelu Compound, Bolanta, Ilorin.
