“The three of them—Ironman, Ogar and Olom— have been in the ugly trade for long and they have made quite a fortune from the illicit trade over the years. But luck ran out on them yesterday, when they were caught in the act. “They also rob people at gunpoint on the road, especially during market days because a lot of people come from far and wide to buy yams and garri from the market. “So they have information, trail people and rob them of their cash, besides their motorcycle-snatching business.
