The senator later said that information at his disposal indicated that “a syndicate of soldiers” killed his aide.
But speaking while being paraded on Monday, the suspected killers said that late Sanni was shot thrice and stabbed in the chest before he was dumped in the pool of his blood.
The suspects, who are all ex-convicts, claimed to have been posing as military personnel to rob unsuspecting motorists and snatch their cars.
They further claimed to be members of a transnational robbery syndicate that specialises in snatching unregistered vehicles from motorists.
The suspects revealed that they would drive the stolen vehicles to their sponsor and gang leader based in Benin Republic.
Items recovered from the suspects are three pistols, one of which is locally made, military accoutrement, expended and live cartridges and the Toyota CRV vehicle forcefully collected from late Sanni.
