The Police said that 13 suspects had been arrested for the killing of two traditional rulers in Ekiti State.
The force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” on Thursday night.
He said, “Now, we have 13 suspects arrested so far in connection with that incident. And we are sure we are going to get more of these suspects.
“We are working with them (suspects) and they are giving us reliable and useful information.
“We are sure and optimistic that we are going to get all of them apprehended and bring them to book.”
Meanwhile, Adejobi said the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, had deployed an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in the South-West state to flush out marauders, killing and maiming people in the state.
Adejobi also said that the police had deployed helicopter and armoured personnel carriers in the state.
He assured residents of the state that pupils and teachers kidnapped around Eporo-Ekiti area of the state would be rescued.
Recall that the two monarchs — the Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, Oba Olatunde Olusola; and the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, Oba David Ogunsola — were gruesomely murdered on Monday, when they were returning from a meeting in Irele-Ekiti.
