“I told the okada rider to take me from Omu-Aran to a farm settlement. When we got there, I pretended to make a phone call to distract him. Then I hit him on the head with a sledgehammer. The man later abandoned the motorcycle and ran away,” he confessed.
The Public Relations Officer of the security outfit, Jimoh Adeniken, said the suspect has been handed over to the Kwara State Local Government Security Initiative for continued investigation and possible prosecution.
He said the Kwara security outfit expressed appreciation to Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for his efforts at strengthening security across the state and expressed optimism for deeper collaboration between the two states.
