There is this popular axiom that says "everyday for the thieves, a day for the owners". This actually played out today at the Ikire police force division, Irewole where a six-man gang of armed robbers terrorizing Ikire and environs were caught by the local vigilante surveillance team out of which two escaped while other 4 were apprehended and paraded by the police.

The surveillance division of the  vigilante group during their search operations at about 2.40 AM of 24th of June 2019, caught six armed robbers in which two escaped while they arrested four after they had successfully robbed one Mrs. Ilori.
