The suspect, Abiola Sunday, 25, was reportedly arrested after months of surveillance by the So-Safe Corps for allegedly terrorising residents of Ogbo community and its environs.
The Corps Commander, Dr Soji Ganzallo, confirmed this to newsmen in a statement by the Corps’ Director of Information and Public Relations, Assistant Commander Adegunwa Adegbuyi, made available to newsmen yesterday in Abeokuta, the state capital.
