Briefing newsmen at the Area Command, the state Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, described the cult commander as a serial killer.
The clan and the community had been deserted because anybody who comes around, he kills and escapes at will. He was doing everything he wanted.
“We are so happy that today, officers of the command led by the DOOR went after him, and luckily for us, they got him. So this is the end of the era of ‘General Solution’.
CP Disu disclosed that the killed cult kingpin was responsible for the death of the paramount ruler in the area in February this year, among about nine notable names murdered by his gang.
He commended operatives of the Ahoada Area Command and Division for their dedication and commitment to the fight against crime and criminality and urged them not to rest on their laurels.
