According to Hundeyin, Ijora Badia Division agents have started obtaining useful information regarding the whereabouts of the presumed eighteen-year-old Olawale Odunsi prior to his apprehension.
He said that the suspect had allegedly been involved in many traffic robberies at Iganmu and Ijora under Bridge areas and environs.
