His arrest, as gathered, followed information that he was allegedly fuelling the lingering crisis in the area. As at 5pm, yesterday, 15 patrol vans carrying policemen led by the Area Commander ‘J’, Mr Felix Vwamhi were still conducting searches in his palace in Ajah after reportedly cordoning off the area.
Police sources said “there was information that he is harbouring hit men in the palace and that there are also arms there.” The suspect, as gathered, was arrested Sunday night and immediately taken to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, even as investigation was said to be ongoing at press time.
Thugs operating on motorcycles, Saturday morning, attacked some Ajah indigenes playing football on a pitch in the area with guns and other dangerous weapons. The attack spiralled into a bloody clash that led to the death of six people with many others injured.
