Parading the suspects, the Ondo State Police Command, Mrs Hilda Harrison confirmed that the suspects were among the hoodlums that kidnapped and killed the APC chieftain, noting that no fewer than 15 persons were involved in the dastardly act. Harrison said, “it was very disheartening that this could still be happening in this state” She explained that one AK49 rifle with 21 rounds live ammunition was recovered from David, adding that efforts were ongoing to arrest the fleeing members of the kidnapping gang. The commissioner, who advised people of the state to be security conscious of their environment, said the suspects would be charged to court after the conclusion of the investigation on the incident. The suspect, Francis said he was arrested by the police because his son was involved in the abduction of the politician, saying he never participated in the crime. However, his son, David confessed to the crime but said they did not kill the deceased. “We didn’t kill him, we left him beside a river when the vigilante group were chasing us, he was very weak, we did not kill him,” he said.
