Ogun police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said a suspect had been arrested, adding that investigation was ongoing.

This is a clear case of assassination and we are not leaving any stone unturned to unravel those behind the killings. One person has been arrested by our operatives in connection to the incident. We will get to the root of the matter, as investigation has since begun,” Oyeyemi said.
