The Osun State Police Command has announced the arrest of Fatai Abass, a 23-year-old cultist.
The Osun State Police Command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the arrest to DAILY POST, revealing that Fatai Abass, also known as ‘Gbefawo,’ had been on the police’s watchlist for more than a year.
Abass was apprehended on the evening of Saturday, February 18, 2023, in the Oke-Baale area of Osogbo, the state capital, by members of the command’s Anti-Cultism Squad.
According to a law enforcement source, “The arrest came following a tip-off, and it was reported that Abass was trailed for months without success until he was finally apprehended.
“Upon the arrest, a locally made pistol and one live cartridge were recovered from him, and he confessed to multiple killings that had occurred in Osogbo.”
Meanwhile, Opalola, who revealed that full investigations had begun, added that other Abass associates would be apprehended as soon as possible.
“The Command will not allow criminals to operate in Osun,” she vowed.
