Ekiti Police Arrest Three Suspects for Armed Robbery, Kidnapping, and Murder
The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested three suspects, including an ex-convict, for their involvement in armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Sunday Abutu, announced on August 4, 2024, that the arrests were made in response to recent security breaches in the state, particularly attacks on Point of Sale (PoS) agents and the kidnapping and killing of residents.
One of the arrested suspects, Omowaye Ayodele, also known as Baba Ogbon, was recently released from prison in May 2024 after serving a sentence for kidnapping. He, along with the other suspects, Ojo Temidayo (aka Yellow) and Busarí Lookman (aka Abbey), were apprehended at different locations.
The suspects confessed to robbing and killing a middle-aged woman, Aina Adeyemi, on July 6, 2024, near the Federal Polytechnic Satellite campus, stealing N155,000 from her.
The suspects also admitted to participating in the kidnapping and killing of Professor Femi Olaofe, a former deputy vice chancellor of Ekiti State University.
DSP Abutu stated that Ayodele was arrested in Akure, Ondo State, where he confessed to the crimes and implicated Temidayo and Lookman as accomplices.
The suspects are currently undergoing investigation and will be arraigned soon, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining gang member who possesses the arms used in their operations.
