The suspects were identified as 26-year-old Abass Quadri, 24-year-old Olanrewaju Joshua and 25-year-old Yusuf Taiwo.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, their arrest followed complaints from students of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Oke-Baale, over repeated criminal attacks along their routes.
