I’ll ensure Tokyo, Auxiliary are arrested – Oyo CP

THE Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Baba Adisa Bolanta, has said the pictures of the two factional leaders of the state branch of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Lateef Akinsola Oluwatoki, a.k.a Tokyo and Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, a.k.a. Auxiliary, will be circulated through-out the state, in order to aid their arrest, just as he reiterated that the police will not give up on their efforts to arrest them.

The police boss also called on the general public to assist the state command with information that could lead to the arrest of the duo.

Mr Bolanta, who said this during a press briefing, held at the command headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, on Thursday, added that the police would not give up efforts to arrest the duo and others involved in the violence that was unleashed on the state at Iwo Road area, about two weeks ago.

It will be recalled that a violent clash between the supporters of the two factioner leaders of the union, about two weeks ago, led to a wanton destruction of property and death of many innocent people.

“I will arrest them (Tokyo and Auxiliary) even if I am posted out of this place (Oyo State) thereafter. I will arrest them. Nobody can stop me from doing that,” the commissioner said, adding that 18 suspects connected with the violence had been arraigned in court, while about 20 other suspects were still with the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), set for arraignment.

Mr Bolanta added that all other security agencies in the state were collaborating with the police, in order to bring a lasting peace to the state.

On the call for his redeployment by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), the commissioner advised the students to face their studies and not be allowed to be used, adding that the authentic president of the body sent him a text message, on Wednesday, dissociating himself from the press statement.
