The police have arrested a notorious thug in Osun State. Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, accordingly, commended the Inspector General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, and the Osun State Police Command for the arrest of one of the notorious political hoodlums, Saheed Kareem Tanfeani, in the state.

The Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, in a statement recalled that Tanfeani was allegedly involved in the gruesome murder of Ezekiel Olapade around the premises of Irepodun Local Government last Sunday.

Governor Adeleke charged the police to intensify the manhunt for the arrest of Asiri Eniba, Delaw, Ojuyobo, Aleba, Lucifer, Lasisi and other thugs terrorizing the state, who are at large.

While urging the police to ensure thorough investigation and proper prosecution of the suspect, the governor repeated the earlier call for the change in the leadership of the Anti-cultism team of the state police.

The governor identified the continued presence of Eluku as the head of the anti-cultism team as a dark spot due to his identification with Asiri Eniba and other APC thugs.

“The arrest of Saheed and Akilapa is a good development. We are watching to see how far the police will prove its readiness to enforce the law and secure our people. For now, we thank the IGP, the Deputy Inspector General of Police and others who make this possible," Adeleke declared.
