Ogun State police command said it has arrested one Suleiman Ganiyu, a notorious serial killer and member of Eiye cult group who had been on wanted list of the command for a long time.

According to Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),  DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was arrested following a distress call from Itamerin Comprehensive High School, Ago-Iwoye that the suspect came to the school premises and started shooting sporadically simply because his younger brother who is a student of the school was beaten.

He said: “Upon the distress call, the DPO Ago-Iwoye, CSP Paul Omiwole led his patrol team to the school but before their arrival, the suspect had run away. He was subsequently traced to his hideout at Imosan Street, Oru-Ijebu where he was eventually apprehended.

“On interrogation, he confessed being a leading member of Eiye confraternity. He confessed further that he was the one who killed one Awokale Olusegun a.k.a Lala on the 27th of February 2020 over a supremacy battle following which he was declared wanted by the police.

“He also confessed being responsible for the death of one “Babasco” and one Dapo at Ijebu-Igbo in 2015 during a clash between his group and Aye cult group. Further investigation revealed that the suspect was the brain behind a series of violent cult related clashes in Ago-Iwoye, Awa-Ijebu, Oru-Ijebu, Ilaponu and Ijebu-Igbo in the recent past.”
