\u201d Police suspect that he may be involved in the activities of \u201cone-chance\u201d armed robbers, who use motorcycles to scout for stranded vehicles on the highway, targeting both commercial and private car owners in distress.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon searching his bag, officers discovered a single-barrel shotgun along with three live cartridges. Ajayi struggled to provide a satisfactory explanation for the firearm\u2019s presence in his possession\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the suspect on interrogation confessed that the bag belonged and was given to him by one Samson, also known as Samora.<\/p>\n
