The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has
deployed additional investigative aids to Oyo
State to complement the efforts of the Oyo State Police Command in
the ongoing manhunt and efforts aimed at re-arresting Sunday

citizens at Akinyele Local Government Area, Moniya, Ibadan, Oyo
State. The additional deployment comprises crack detectives from
the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and the Special Tactical Squad
(STS) of the Force Intelligence Bureau, Abuja. The team is expected
to bring their vast operational, technical and investigative
experience to bear in supporting ongoing efforts aimed at
re-arresting and bringing the fugitive to book.
The IGP who condemned the unfortunate escape from lawful custody
of the suspect, has directed the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State
Command to intensify efforts and ensure the prompt re-arrest of the
fleeing suspect. The CP has also been directed to speedup
investigations into the circumstances that led to the escape of the
suspect. All persons indicted in the escape are to be identified
and made to face the wrath of the law. The CP has equally been
mandated to immediately assess and rejig the security architecture
in the State so as to prevent any future occurrence of untoward
incidents.
Meanwhile, the IGP calls for calm and enjoins citizens to
cooperate with the police by providing useful information that can
lead to the unearthing of the whereabouts of Sunday Shodipe – the
suspected serial killer.
