During the raid on his hideout, MC allegedly shot one of the security personnel before being killed himself. His corpse has been deposited at the Oketapemo Police station for onward movement to Ibadan. Nine of his accomplices were also arrested at the scene.
Confirming the incident, the state Commandant of Amotekun, Col. Olayinka Olayanju said: “Yes, it was true. We have neutralized him. It was a combined team of Amotekun and the Police, Operation Burst. He had committed so many atrocities, crimes in the area. Even this Monday morning, he engaged security personnel in gun duel and they gunned him down.”
