It was gathered that the suspects in the past have been convicted for undisclosed crime and served jail terms.

Police prosecutor, Rasak Olayiwola, told the court that the two men conspired among themselves to commit felony in the house of one, Alhaji Rasaq Okunade,of No. 23 Ayegun Street, Iludun, Osogbo around 11:30 am.
