The Oyo State Police Command says
it has obtained firsthand information on the identity of the suspected killer
of Hon. Temitope Olatoye, House of Representatives member for Lagelu/Akinyele

Olatoye popularly known as

receiving treatment.
The Oyo State Commissioner of

and the scene of the crime has been cordoned off.
He said the Deputy Commissioner
of Police CIID, Iyaganku, Ibadan, has been directed to lead the team of
investigators.
“Concerted efforts are ongoing to
unravel and arrest the suspected killer in compliance with the directive of the
Inspector-General of Police (IG) Muhammed Adamu.
“I seek the cooperation and
understanding of the family members who are bereaved and mourning and the
support of the public to assist the police with credible and useful information
that will lead to the arrest of the fleeing culprits,’’ Olukolu stated.
Olatoye contested for the Oyo
Central Senatorial district on the platform of Action Democratic Party (ADP)
during the Feb.23 Presidential and National Assembly election.
