The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has
deployed additional investigative aids to Oyo State to complement the efforts
of the Oyo State Police Command in the ongoing manhunt and efforts aimed at
re-arresting Sunday Shodipe, a prime suspect in the multiple murder of innocent
citizens at Akinyele Local Government Area, Moniya, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The
additional deployment comprises crack detectives from the Intelligence Response
Team (IRT) and the Special Tactical Squad (STS) of the Force Intelligence
Bureau, Abuja. The team is expected to bring their vast operational, technical
and investigative experience to bear in supporting ongoing efforts aimed at
re-arresting and bringing the fugitive to book.
The IGP who condemned the unfortunate escape from lawful
custody of the suspect, has directed the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State
Command to intensify efforts and ensure the prompt re-arrest of the fleeing
suspect. The CP has also been directed to speedup investigations into the
circumstances that led to the escape of the suspect. All persons indicted in
the escape are to be identified and made to face the wrath of the law. The CP
has equally been mandated to immediately assess and rejig the security architecture
in the State so as to prevent any future occurrence of untoward incidents.
Meanwhile, the IGP calls for calm and enjoins citizens to
cooperate with the police by providing useful information that can lead to the
unearthing of the whereabouts of Sunday Shodipe – the suspected serial killer.
