The three suspects are aged 20, 15, and 44 and Adigun added that they have since made confessional statements.

Oyejola and Awoyinka in their confessions revealed that they had burgled the shop around 6 am on the said day and made away with three electric motors, three generator parts, four welding machines, and a drilling machine. 

They stated that the items were sold to Aderemi Jelili who specialises in the purchase of scrap metal.

Aderemi Jelili however denied knowledge of the duo but admitted that he only bought condemned socket and chain from them.

Adigun explained that investigation was still on to ascertain the extent of involvement of the trio in order for enough evidence to be gathered for them to be charged to court for conspiracy, stealing, and trespass.
