Odutola said the DPO of Ibogun, acting on a distress call, mobilised his men to the scene.
She explained that, “The hoodlums were reportedly invited by one Olusesan Ogaode, residing at the same address.”
She further said that in foiling the attack, Odutola explained that eight suspected hoodlums were arrested.
She identified the eight arrested men as Adebila Adebayo (32), Kola Amosun (35), Abiola Lanre (20), Fakeye Gabriel (30), Lekan Adeleye (15), Adewale Ogaode (26), Oluwasesan Ogaode (25), Vincent Mercy (20) and Ajibade Rachael (19).
