Confirming the arrest in a press statement, the state command’s spokesperson, Chike Oti, said the suspect was arrested in Ondo by a crack team of detectives.
“The Togolese, who allegedly murdered Chief Ope Bademosi on Wednesday, Oct. 31, at his residence, No. 3A Onikoyi Lane, Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, barely three days after he was employed as a cook, was arrested today Nov. 2, at about 09.30 hrs, at Yaba Area in Ondo Town, Ondo State.
