Armed robbers attack Odunlade Adekola, Mr. Latin (Details)

According to reports, their cars ran into the armed robbers who had laid siege along Ilishan-Sagamu road.

Mr Latin narrated the ordeal to PREMIUM TIMES this morning saying,

“we left Ijebu-Ode after the show and heading to Abeokuta, when at
about 7.30 p.m. we ran into the armed robbers already stationed
themselves on the road,” he said.

He explained that Odunlade was driving ahead of his car when he
sighted the road block by the bandits. Odunlade attempted to make a
detour, but the bandits rained‎ bullets on the tyres forcing the car to a
halt, he explained.

Mr Latin, who drove in his Toyota Camry behind Odunlade’s Toyota
Avensis, said he and his colleague, alongside some of their aides, had
to abandon their vehicles and run into the bush.

He said they were in the bush for almost two hours, while the bandits
ransacked their vehicles, carting away valuables including money and
mobile phones.

“We ran as the robbers pursued us with guns. We were in the bush for
about two hours, before we later regained freedom after the robbers left
the scene,” Mr Latin stated.

He said some vigilante members later came to their rescue and they
were taken to Ogun State University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu for
medical treatment.

He said‎ the matter has been reported to the police and thanked God for sparing their lives.
