Seven months after the three members of staff of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) were murdered at Arepo Village, Owode in Ogun State, some of their alleged killers who are currently in police net finally confessed  why and how they perpetuated the act.

The suspects identified as Timi Koro and Wusaina Etipiwey were arrested by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Task Force on Anti-Pipeline Vandalism Unit led by the officer in charge, Friday Ibadin, a Assistant Commissioner of Police.

The suspects were arrested at Abule Oba area of Ikorodu with 50 gallons of 50 liters of stolen PMS and a pump action gun when they were alighting from one of the boats that ferried them across the creeks to vandalise another NNPC pipeline.

While regaling onlookers with tales of how the deal was hatched and executed, one of the suspects, Koro, who admitted to being a part of the gang, said the gun found in their possession actually belongs to one of the leaders of union and was given to him for safe keeping.
