Meanwhile, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Bashir Makama, has ordered the transfer of the suspects to Anti-Kidnapping/Cultists Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation. The CP therefore warned that the state will no longer be conducive for any violent group as the Command will be taking the battle to them.
