On behalf of the Corps Commander, Dr. Soji Ganzallo, the So-Safe Corps spokesperson, Moruf Yusuf, revealed this in a statement on March 30, 2023.
The suspect was detained, per the statement, after the agency’s special team reacted to a distress call regarding potential attacks from the men residing in a 20-room abandoned, flooded building at Oke-Ijeun Tuntun in Abeokuta.
Ganzallo noted that the team was able to apprehend the kingpin, Mr Akeem Yekinni, a 48-year-old man, who resides at the said building at Nawar-ud-Deen, Ijeun Tuntun.
He said that the suspect refused to disclose the rest members of his team and their mode of operation.
