The command spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola who confirmed the arrest in a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo hinted that Okoilu was arrested in the early hours of Sunday, August 7.

The statement explained that the suspect was arrested by a combined team of police officers from Dugbe Police Station and Oke Baale Police Station with support from local hunters.

Opalola said Okoilu was tracked and arrested after he went on a killing spree in Egbatedo, Osogbo, where he killed not less than three persons.

Okoilu has now been handed over to the anti-cultism department of the Police Command for further investigation and interrogation.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG recalls that prior to his arrest Okoilu and one Solomon Adedimeji (Solo Iwara) had been declared wanted by the Osun Police Command in March 2022 in connection with offences of murder, arson, ritual killings, armed robbery, rape and kidnapping.

The police had warned that anybody that harboured the suspects would be treated as an accomplice to their crimes and also promised a handsome reward for anyone with useful information that can lead to the arrest of the wanted persons.
