15 Suspects Arrested Over Killing During Gov Amosun’s Ogun Tour

Fifteen suspects, linked to the violence that broke out in Ilaro when Governor Ibikunle Amosun visited the town, have been arrested by Ogun State Police Command on Wednesday.
According to Premium Times, the Public Relations Officer of Ogun State, Muyiwa Adejobi, said in an interview 15 suspects had been arrested and were being interrogated.
On Monday, when Mr. Amosun visited the Local Government Area as part of his assessment tour, at least one person was shot dead.
Muyiwa Adejobi denied speculations that a serving Commissioner in the state was among those arrested in connection with the killing.
“I have been in office since morning, and there is no such information with me, but I can confirm to you that, so far we have arrested 15 suspects,” Mr. Adejobi explained.
He added that those arrested will be properly screened and anyone or anybody found wanting among them shall face the law appropriately.
Reportedly, pandemonium broke out during the governor’s visit as two rival political thugs clashed over territorial rights. The hoodlums who were armed with various dangerous weapons such as guns, machete and assorted charms engaged themselves in free for all.
