THE Oyo State Government said, on Wednesday, that the State Police Command had arrested the suspected ritualists behind the serial killings in the Akinyele area of Ibadan.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Fatai Owoseni, who disclosed this during a town hall meeting, organised by JAMZ 100.1 FM, Ibadan, added that the criminals would be paraded soon by the state Police Command.

A young boy, a 29-year old expectant mother and two undergraduates had recently been killed in their homes by unknown people in Akinyele.

“As I speak, the perpetrators of the killings in Akinyele have been apprehended. As of Tuesday, the criminals were apprehended and the Commissioner of Police would possibly hold a press conference today. But, I can specifically tell you that the person behind it has taken police to the ritualists and they are now behind the bars,” Owoseni said.
