The Osun State Police Command on Monday confirmed the arrest of one Ismail Damilare, suspected to be a member of an unlawful group.
A video of Damilare in handcuffs and leg shackles, where he admitted to being arrested with local fabricated arms had gone viral.
Also, in the video, Damilare, said he was using the arms for self defence to protect himself from a rival group.
Asked if the suspect was linked to any high profile personality in the transport sector in the state, the PPRO further said, “I am not aware if he worked with the NURTW, but I know the guy was arrested. He is otherwise known as “Killer” but his name is Ismail Damilare. He is 22 years old.
“The operatives of Anti-Cultism were on patrol and when they got to Akede Community in Oke Baale Area of Osogbo, they got a tip off that some hoodlums terrorising the neighborhood were hiding somewhere in the area.
“The police trailed them to their hideout. They were many where Damilare was arrested but others fled. The operatives however caught him before he could flee the area,”
The arrest of the suspect could be an indication of sustained clampdown on criminals operating in the state as Osun moves closer to an election year.
