Detained members of the Oodua Peoples Congress who effected the arrest of suspected Fulani warlord, Isikilu Wakili, have been released by the Oyo State Police Command. The men were released on bail.
It was learnt that the police released the three detained OPC operatives on health grounds to enable them to seek medical attention.
OPC Coordinator in Oyo State, Rotimi Olumo, confirmed the release of the three men.
Olumo said, “The three men were released on bail today from the State Criminal Investigation Department in Iyaganku, Ibadan.
“The police released them on health condition; the three men are seriously ill and need urgent medical attention.
“The police said the three of them should report regularly at the state CID for the ongoing investigation.”
Olumo had also said the men were not moved from the state to Abuja as reported in some sections of the media.

The OPC later handed him over to the Oyo State Police Command but the police subsequently detained three OPC operatives for allegedly burning down Wakili’s house and killing an unknown woman in the process.
However, the OPC said the murder and arson allegations were false, adding that it immediately handed over Wakili and three of his accomplices to the police in Igboora after their arrest.
