Odutola said: “During investigation, the suspects confessed that they were part of a larger gang of “Eiye confraternity”, comprising five members, with their leader still at large.

“Their intention was to meet at the school before carrying out their planned operation.

“However, thanks to the swift action of the Sango Division police, they were apprehended before they could execute their nefarious plans.”

She said that the police were currently making efforts to track down the remaining suspects who managed to escape arrest.

Odutola further said that the suspects in their custody would be charged to Court once the investigation being conducted by the State Criminal Investigation Department was completed.
