The trio were said to be responsible for the killing of the Okada Riders Association ticketing officer, a petty trader and two other persons killed in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

A United Arab Emirates (UAE) returnee and jail-break escapee named Omotuyi Temitope was also arrested for armed robbery.

Parading the suspects alongside seventeen other suspects arrested for various offences to newsmen yesterday at the command headquarters,  the police spokesperson, Sunday Abutu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the recent fracas among rival secret cult group members, especially the Supreme “Eiye” Confraternity and the Black Axe “Aiye” Confraternity in Ado-Ekiti led  to serious unrest as well as killing and robbing of innocent citizens.

He said, “The command activated a full-scale manhunt to arrest the perpetrators, bring them to justice and restore a peaceful atmosphere.

“Through this, the Command RRS Operatives, acting on a credible tip-off, arrested one Aluko Olamide in Ado-Ekiti on 23/06/2024. A search was conducted in his house, and three mobile phones, six ATM cards and thirty-two different SIM cards belonging to victims were recovered”.

 

 

 

He said further investigation led to the arrest of one Atewogboye Olumide Emmanuel at Ekute Quarters, Ado-Ekiti on 24/06/2024.

 

 

 

“A search of his room was carried out and two locally made Single Barrel guns and nine live cartridges were recovered. On 24/06/2024 led to the arrest of one Salawudeen Lookman, one of the killer squad members and member of Eiye Confraternity.

 

 

 

“The suspects confessed that they, alongside other fleeing members of their gang identified as Atewogboye Ibrahim a.k.a Apeleko, Lati Olorifunfun and one nicknamed Tornado, were responsible for the killing of one Omoyajowo Olanipekun at Okesa Junction, Ado-Ekiti on 18/06/2024, the killing of one Ibrahim Taofeek Ayinde at Opposite Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado-Ekiti, and the killing of one Abdullahi Dogon-Daji inside Bisi Market, Ado-Ekiti, on 20/06/2024.’’
