Police Nab Wanted Cult Kingpin

Lagos State Police Command has arrested a suspected serial killer, Wasiu Akinwande, also known as Olori Eso, as part of its effort to curb violent crime and other criminalities.

The state police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, told newsmen that the alleged serial killer was arrested by the Command’s Tactical Squad.

According to him, on June 20, 2025, tactical squad operatives of the command successfully in a well-coordinated special operation code-named Silence, Speed and Surprise trailed and arrested Wasiu Akinwande aka Olori Eso, a 44-year-old notorious hired killer and head of a killer gang and cultist kingpin who along with his multiple gangs and hoodlums had been terrorising Mushin area of Lagos State and its environs.

He said the serial killer suspect was the most wanted in Lagos history in recent times.

“His arrest marks a huge success in the ongoing fight against violent crimes that are threats to the security and safety of residents in Mushin and some other parts of Lagos State.

Wasiu Akinwande was arrested in his hideout in the Agbado area of Ogun State after several attempts by the Police Tactical Squad,” he said.
