Ekiti: Police arrest suspected killers of Bamidele’s supporter The police in Ekiti State on Wednesday said they had arrested three suspected killers of Mr. Foluso Ogundare, a supporter of House of Representatives’ member and governorship aspirant, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele. Ogundare and a female supporter of the lawmaker, Mrs. Beatrice Ige, were attacked and shot by suspected political hoodlums during a meeting of Ekiti Bibiire Coalition, Bamidele’s support group, at Ward 03 in Emure Ekiti on Sunday. The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti State Command, Mr. Victor Babayemi (ASP), at a press briefing on Wednesday, said the three suspects were arrested at different locations in Ekiti State on Tuesday. The police spokesman however said he could not disclose the names of the arrested suspects for security reasons “as investigation into the matter has already been taken over by the Force Headquarters in Abuja.” A reliable source however told our correspondent that in fact four suspects had been arrested and he gave the names of the arrested suspects to include a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Kehinde Boluwade; Olomi Babalola, Yomi Adebayo and Ayo Famojuro (a.k.a Ewenla). Our correspondent, however, learnt that another suspect was still being investigated to determine the level of his involvement in the matter. Babayemi said, “The suspects are being moved to Abuja for further questioning. That is the information we are able to release at the moment. I can tell you that the suspects were arrested at different points outside Emure late Tuesday night. They took to flight, but what is important is that they have been arrested.” Punch Newspaper
