LUCKY LAWAL
Two suspected cultists, Korede Pariosho and Jide Afolabi, both indigenes of Ijebu-Igbo in Ogun State, have been arrested by the Operatives of Ogun State Police Command for allegedly killing one Kolawole Ajomale, a member of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC.
According to the report by the Police Public Relations Officer DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the incident happened on the 5th April, 2020, in Ijebu- Igbo.
After
allegedly committing the insidious crime, the two suspects went into hiding but
the two deadly cult members ran out of luck as they were arrested on the
7th April, 2020, following an intelligence based investigation embarked upon by
the detectives at Ijebu-Igbo Division led by DPO SP Kazeem Solotan, who led his
team to the hideout of the group where the duo were arrested and the gun they
used to kill the victim was also recovered.
The hoodlums had on 5th April, 2020, reportedly attacked their victim in his
house situated at No. 20 Odo Balogun Street, Oke Sapen, in Ijebu-Igbo, where
the deceased was shot on the head and stomach in the presence of his pregnant
wife, consequent upon which the victim died on the spot.Since then, the Police
had been on their trail before they were finally apprehended following
painstaking intelligence and technical investigation.
On interrogation, the two suspects confessed killing the deceased but they
claimed to have done it in revenge for the death of one member of their cult
group, who they alleged was killed by OPC men in 2017. They further confessed
to have vowed since then that any member of OPC seen will be killed in
vengeance for the death of their late colleague.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson, has ordered the immediate
transfer of the suspects to homicide section of the State Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation and
prosecution.
