The Osun State Police Command has arrested two suspects, Habeeb Adedayo and Akeem Fawas, for the murder of a commercial motorcyclist, Segun Olatunji, in Iwo.\r\n

Police spokesperson, Abiodun Ojelabi, said on Tuesday that the suspects lured the 26-year-old victim under the guise of hiring him to convey them to a farm. Adedayo was said to have stabbed him in the neck and slit his throat before they attempted to sell his motorcycle in Ibafo, Ogun State, where they were apprehended.\r\n

According to Ojelabi, the suspects also confessed to previous robberies in Ori-Eru, Agbowo, and Ebu Alare areas of Iwo. A motorcycle and a knife were recovered from them.\r\n

In a separate operation, operatives of the Prompt Response Unit intercepted a Toyota Camry with registration number JZ 756 ABC at Unity Junction, Ikire, on August 29. The driver fled during a document check, and preliminary findings revealed that the vehicle had been stolen in Owode-Ede earlier that day. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the suspect.\r\n
