Oyo Police Command on Sunday confirmed three of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) are in custody for arresting suspected kidnap kingpin, Iskilu Wakiliin Ayete, Ibarapa local government, Oyo state.

The police said the three men were being interrogated for their involvement in arson and murder while carrying out the arrest of Wakili.

Oyo police spokesperson, Olugbenga Fadeyi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, also said the Commissioner of Police has directed that Wakili, due to his frail appearance and state of health, be moved to the hospital while others are being interrogated.

He said “The Oyo State Police Command would like to inform the general public that at about 0900 hrs of date (7th March 2021), information was received that a group of persons, (later found out to be of the Odua Peoples Congress- OPC), had invaded Kajola community in Ibarapa axis of the State.

“The invasion was reportedly aimed at arresting one Wakili, a Fulani by tribe, who is alleged to be the sponsor and mastermind of various criminal attacks against the people/farmers of Yoruba origin in the community.

“The Commissioner of Police has quickly moved into action and preliminary findings revealed that some OPC went to Kajola community in Ibarapa North Local government Area of Oyo State.

“While there, the house of the Wakili in question was set ablaze, while a female (the identity of who is yet to be ascertained) was burnt in the fire and Wakili (about 75 years old and blind) with two other persons were picked up.

“The three of them are presently in the custody of the Police. The Commissioner of Police has directed that Wakili (due to his frail appearance and state of health), be moved to the hospital, while others are being interrogated. Others being interrogated are the OPC , involved in arson and murder.

“Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that any person or group of persons from any region or tribe that has been found culpable to have committed any criminal act(s) in the State would not be spared but would be arrested and dealt with according to extant laws.

“In conclusion, anybody that has any case against Iskilu Wakili should report it to the State Criminal Investigation Department, (CID) Iyaganku Ibadan for discreet Investigation.”

You arrested a terrorist and went to hand him to police Stupid OPC, what happened to testing the strength of his neck against a matchete?

Does Fulani terrorists take people to police?

Aye Nigeria police force o ni Dara. ko ni ragba fun commissioner of police Oyo state ati gbogbo idile re!

Quite unfortunate and insensitive of the police

OPC don't know how to act jare....



Why broadcast that stupid video in the first place


Bunch of rowdy illiterates

Is it not the same Nigerian police that was begging OPC to look after their Police station during Endsars?

I hope they are ready for what is coming?

So Wakali was taken to hospital, while those that captured him were arrested?

Skull miners that cant mine the One skull that needs mining, Useless

Can you imagine..?? A notoriously deadly killer and kingpin of kidnappings is here christened ''75yrs Old, Frail and Blind'' that should be in Hospital.....not even detention first.

It's OK...! OPC shey una see wetin una good work don turn to by Fulani controlled NPF..??
Next time serve him jollof rice the nice AC hilux van...!

No leopard has ever succeeded in changing its spots..!

So poor, old, blind Wakili that was taken to the station by OPC, ended up a/c chilling with the nice nurses under hospital care.

Meanwhile the OPC that arrested him are roasting in police cells under the care of mosquito patrol team, as a result of OPC's incompetence and carelessness that resulted in the death of an innocent young girl while trying to arrest Wakili.

This life no balance at all.
OPC should apply sense next time.

I know you didn't read the post. The OPC got arrested instead. An innocent girl was caught in the fire as a result of incompetence by the of the OPC.

I just cannot laugh at the stupidity of the sophisticated people

Buhari and co will roast you guys

One afonja ,will there to the move ,as ever.

people kindly wait and watch ,before real chest beaters aka sophisticated people arrive and dump their nonsense on the thread.

OPC guys are so dumb. Lock them up and throw away the keys. Since they don't know how to do their job well, they deserve being arrested and locked up for life. Fools!!

Bro police are just playing to the Gallary just to please their paymaster. But you know what ? The OPC guys will be released !

The police are not dealing with ordinary people here, they're dealing with OPC who have almost all over the world.

Meanwhile, Nigerian police are useless!

This was exacly what caused problem between the police and OPC in the 90s, for those of us that witnessed it. It was not a good time to be a police man in the west then, even the military government of Abacha couldn't stop them, I hope history will not repeat itself this time around bcs these OPC guys are monsters.

Are the police mad

I don't the extrajudicial of killing of Wakili because of possible reprisals in the north.

But to arrest the detain the OPC is totally unacceptable and I expect top Yoruba leaders to come to their rescue ASAP. Nothing will happen to them.

Wakili is not returning to Ayete!

Stop yarning opaks. What does OPC have to do with the police in the first place?

The representative of the cow government has spoken

These same mofos couldn't curb the menace of herdsmen murdering farmers in the south despite the overwhelming evidences.

.. So the man sef na Blind

Nobody fights with his two eyes closed !

If you're a man of wisdom pls decode this statement.

Poor rule of engagement... If you're planning on handing him over to police, why not involve the police during the raid?

imagine!

Stewpid

So they can't go for GANI, time will tell if the house belongs to RAT or CAT.

what a pathetic country we live in

The man is blind

Very unfair

This is really very heart breaking. I am totally against extra judicial killing but information out there is that the said Wakili is the mastermind of numerous security breaches and kidnappings.

I'm a bit curious the police could be so nice, I mean literally say it to the general public that a suspect, is frail, old and blind and as a result should be taken to the hospital.

The same police known to parade visibly injured suspects while giving press statement?

Nigeria we hail thee.

...heeei...this is a slap on face of Gani Adam the areona kakanfo of Yoruba land.
I think police were well prepared for .at
