Oyo: Police arrest four suspects over Ojoo mayhem 

Men of the Oyo State Police Command have arrested no fewer than four suspects in connection with the recent civil unrest in some parts of Ibadan, the state capital.

The command noted that the suspects are still in police custody for necessary interrogation.

The command made the disclosure in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade.

The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Thursday.

DAILY POST reports that tension enveloped some parts of Ibadan on Wednesday following the alleged killing of a man identified as a Yoruba man.

It was learnt that the man was allegedly killed during a confrontation with some people believed to be Hausa men in the Ojoo area.

The incident led to civil unrest in some parts of Ibadan on Wednesday.

DAILY POST gathered that another person also died as a result of the civil unrest on Wednesday.

But Ayanlade, in his reaction, noted that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the incident.

He noted that the suspects were arrested to unravel the circumstances that led to the incident.

He said that all four suspects had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department of the command.

“Meanwhile, four suspects have so far been arrested in connection with the incident and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, where a comprehensive investigation has commenced to unravel the circumstances surrounding the attempted robbery, the mob action, the ensuing public disturbance, and all related acts of criminality.”
