The suspect, whose name has not been released, was reportedly part of a gang that orchestrated a violent robbery in a residential area in Ibadan.
Eyewitnesses described the robbery as a coordinated and aggressive attack, which left several residents traumatized.
According to the police, the suspect was tracked down through a combination of surveillance footage and witness testimonies. Acting on this information, officers moved swiftly to apprehend the individual at his workplace early today.
