Oyo State: Police vow to re-arrest suspected killer, begin manhunt
The Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Nwachukwu Enwonwu, has assured members of the public that the command would re-arrest a suspected killer, Sunday Shodipo, who recently escaped from custody.
Shodipo and others were arrested in connection with serial killing of women at Akinyele Area Ibadan in Oyo State and was paraded at Oyo State Police Command, Eleyele.
During the parade, the suspect admitted that he was one of the ritual killers operating in Akinyele Area.
Describing the escape of the killer from the police custody as sad, Enwonwu said two police officers had been arrested in connection with the case and are currently undergoing orderly room trial, reiterating that the command would do everything possible to re-apprehend the suspect.
His words, “We have deployed massively, we have mobilised people both monarchs, hunters, vigilantes and our policemen in covert operations. They have been combing the whole area and beyond for this man. And finally too, we have published him as a wanted person. Anybody that sees him should please apprehend him and draw our attention to it. We have also pleaded with the public not to take laws into their hands. In case they see him, let them not mob him and send him to untimely grave by way of jungle justice. They should hand him over, so that the man will continue from where he stopped to tell the court and the public. He had already confessed during the last press briefing”.
