He added that other members of the group who are still at large,
include one Paul a.k.a Bouncing, leader of ‘Nokia Group’ and

and robbed innocent citizens of their valuable property around
Aluminum Village in Dopemu, Agege.”
Akinbayo, who lives at No. 10 Salako Street, Aluminum Village,
confessed that “he and his boys raped, burgled and killed
innocent citizens who confronted them during any of their
operations around Dopemu area.”
The 28-year-old suspect, a native of Kuta-Ilegbo Town,
Abeokuta, in Ogun State, disclosed that ‘Awawa Boys’ is one
umbrella and they only have branches at different parts of the
state, while he is the leader of the group that controls Dopemu
and its environs.
President of the Aluminum and Accessories Association, Dopemu
Branch, Biliaminu Oladimeji, disclosed that he and his members,
including residents around the area, had lost several millions of
Naira to activities of the ‘Awawa Boys’ and other dangerous
groups around the area.
He confessed that since the arrest was made, other members
who have always been threatening them had vacated the area
for fear of being arrested.
