The Command image-maker said, one of the suspects arrested for being in possession of guns confessed been member of a cult group, adding, “that suspect mentioned another person that he was part of the notorious cult group which they all belonged to’ .
“It was that one that was taken to Ifo to identify the suspect and they have successfully arrested him . But, on their way coming, normally, they would not want to allow the Police to arrest one of them. On their way coming, they mobbed and attacked the officers and in the course of escaping from the attack, they released gun shots and incidentally, it hits one person and he died” .
Penpushing also reports that, Oyeyemi said the corpse was evacuated by police, stating that few minutes after the incident ,some hoodlums went to the office of the Deputy Speaker in Coker Bus Stop and set it ablaze along with five buses, describing the act as criminal and vowed that those perpetrators would be made to face the law .
“Some people mobilised themselves and attacked the office of the Deputy Speaker, burnt down the office and five vehicles in that area. The correlation between the incident that happened and the reaction of the people is what we cannot establish . Because there is no Nexus between the two.
“For now, we have arrested 25 suspects. The issues are two ; the case of murder and arson .But, the case of arson is what the people have committed. That act is pure criminal, there is nothing that warrants the spontaneous action”.
“Those 25 suspects have been handed over to the State Criminal and Investigation Department , they are going to be screened, those who are not directly involved will be released and those who are directly involved are going to face the law”, he declared
