“It is unfortunate the family has lost a dear person, but like I said when this matter broke out, the Inspector General of Police has given the directive to the police in Oyo Command to ensure that those who carried out the dastardly act are arrested. We will eventually arrest the culprit and ensure diligent prosecution. So far we have five suspects in our custody and we are on top of the situation,” he said.
