The police in Osun have arrested six suspected robbers all dressed in military camouflage uniforms operating along Ife-Ilesa Expressway in the state.
Mr Fimihan Adeoye, the State Commissioner of Police, paraded the suspects at the command headquarters in Osogbo on Wednesday.
He said the suspects were arrested at the scene of the robbery operation by his men with the aid of local vigilantes on Monday night.
Adeoye said two other suspected highway robbers who planted spikes on the roads to puncture vehicle tyres in order to rob motorists and passengers were equally arrested.
He said before their arrest, the two-man robbery gang had used carved wooden guns, covered with black cello tapes to rob their victims. Police investigations established that the suspects were all from Lagos, but came to operate in Osun and always returned to base.
