The police have arrested four members of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) for arresting a notorious herdsman, Iskilu Wakili, who has been terrorising residents of Ayete and its environs in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State.
The police authorities in Oyo reportedly questioned the right and propriety of the OPC members to have arrested Wakili
When contacted, Oyo Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olugbenga Fadeyi, could not confirm the arrest.
He said he was not aware of the development.
He however wondered why the OPC men would arrest an individual, a duty reserve for security operatives, especially the police.
He said, “I don’t have any detail about such arrest. But the OPC are not the police. How can they arrest another person? I will find out to know what happen and where they have taken Wakili to.”
Wakili, who has been terrorising farm owners in Ibarapa communities in Oyo State, was reportedly arrested in the early hours of Sunday.
He has been linked with several nefarious activities, including seizure of hectares of farmland, rape and kidnapping rich indigenes in the area for ransom, among many other despicable atrocities.
