The police in Osun on Tuesday said it arrested one Akinola Michael, 33, in connection with the killing of one Yakubu Zakariyau, a commercial motorcyclist in Ile-Ife and Ibadan, and stealing his motorcycle.
Yemisi Opalola, the police spokesperson in the state, said during the parade of criminal suspects in Osogbo, that the father of the victim reported that his son received a call from someone to come and pick him up on July 4. She quoted the man as saying that after his son left home at 9:30 a.m. to pick up the caller, he did not return home, nor could he be reached nor found.
“Immediately the report was received, police detectives from the Anti-Kidnapping section swung into action and through diligently and scientifically analysed intelligence-led investigation, the police detective was able to arrest one of the suspects, one Akinola Michael in Ibadan.
“He confessed to have jointly killed the deceased with one Alekuso Rotimi (now at large) at Ogundipe Zone II area, Egbeda LGA, Ibadan with hammer and buried him with his phone in a thick forest while his Bajaj motorcycle was taken away by them.
“Efforts are ongoing to arrest other conspirators,” she said.
The police spokesperson also said they arrested two armed robbery suspects who allegedly broke into some houses in Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area of the state, and robbed residents of their belongings.
She said the suspects were arrested after the matter of armed robbery was reported at the Ibokun police division.
