The two were convicted after they pleaded guilty to various crimes.
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Felix and Olumoke were apprehended at night by security guard at 4, Akinyemi Street in Igando when they climbed a fence to enter a house and broke into a shop to steal.
While they were about to carry out their plans, the security guard raised alarm and they were apprehended and taken to the Oba of Igando Palace.
At the palace, they confessed and said they were behind several robberies in the area and mentioned several shops they had broken into and stole items.
