The Ogun State Command of the Department of State Security Service (DSS) has arrested three more people in connection with the arrest of a notorious killer land grabber, Elijah (aka killer), who was arrested in the Obasanjo area of the state.
A source, who was privy to the arrest of the three suspects identified them as Busari (aka Shiner), Anisere (aka Vulga) and Yussuf (aka Igun).
Elijah was arrested some weeks ago by the DSS operatives following a petition by a family, Adelupo Family of Ipetu Baba Ode, that he was allegedly responsible for the death of two people, Monday Eredua, on November 17, 2021, and Moruf Babalola, on May 26, 2021.
Apart from the Adelupo family, it was gathered that another family in Ogun State, Isele Gbobalaya, also petitioned the DSS and linked the arrested Elijah with the murder of a member of their family, Idowu Arinadegbo, in 2013.
The family, in their petition to the DSS, stated that all efforts to get Elijah pay for his alleged atrocities were blocked even at the DPP, where the case was referred to for advice.”
Outside from others, a retired police officer has also reportedly come out to accuse the detained suspected land grabber of attacking him in an effort to kill him.
It was gathered that the three suspects were arrested following alleged confessional statements by Elijah and diligent investigations by the DSS.
Sources close to Ogun DSS said the command was taking time to properly investigate all the allegations against him.
One of the sources said: “You know how DSS works; operatives don’t just arrest suspects over frivolous and petty offences. They are properly investigating the allegations.”
The source added that “it was not only Elijah that was involved in the alleged killings. There were other people and the DSS operatives have got some links to them.”
Another source said “the DSS operatives are making progress in their investigations.
“They have arrested three more people already and they are still on the trail of others.”
