Sunday Shodipe, suspected serial
killer who fled police custody in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, on August 11, has
been rearrested.
Olugbenga Fadeyi, police public
relations officer in the state, confirmed his re-arrest but did not
go into details.
“Yes we have him now. He is
currently in custody,” he disclosed over the phone before ending the call
abruptly.
Shodipe, 19, is a prime suspect in a series of killings recorded at the Akinyele area of Ibadan.
The suspect was arrested by the
police in July and kept at the Mokola station in Ibadan, before he escaped.
Nwachukwu Enwonwu, the state
police commissioner, blamed an off-duty police officer for the escape.
But angry youth staged a protest
at the headquarters of the Oyo police command on Wednesday, demanding the
immediate rearrest of the suspect.
The police subsequently placed a
N500,000 bounty on the suspect.
