The Assistant Inspector General of Police in Zone Eleven, Leye Oyebade and Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Shina Olukolu, on Monday, told the Tribune Online that the police have succeeded in arresting one person in connection with the killing of Honourable Temitope Olatoye a.k.a Sugar on Saturday

They also stated that aside the suspect linked with Sugar’s case, about 18 persons, six guns, nine live cartridges, axe, knives and other miscellaneous items were recovered, while the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) had been carrying out investigations

The AIG and the police commissioner, however, said that Sugar’s death was in no way connected with the elections that took place on the day he was killed.

Speaking with Nigerian Tribune exclusively on Monday, at the police headquarters in Ibadan, AIG Oyebade said that the police got enough facts and evidences that led to the arrest.

“We have got a suspect but we can’t reveal all the details. I was at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan with the Oyo State Commissioner of Police on Saturday. The Chief Medical Director of the UCH was also with us.

“From that point, we picked up the investigation. I want to assure members of the public that the IGP’s mandate is that no stone should be left unturned in unravelling the cause of the incident.

“But the incident is not directly connected with the elections, going by the venue of the incident and the information we gathered of what happened prior to the incident,” the AIG said.

On his part, the Oyo police commissioner told the Tribune Online that he got the information about the attack on Sugar by unknown assailants from the Divisional Police Officer at Iyana Offa, while he was monitoring the governorship and state House of Assembly elections on Saturday.

Olukolu said: I learnt that Sugar was ambushed and, in the process, sustained gunshot injuries in the head. He was immediately evacuated to the UCH for medical attention, but, unfortunately, he died at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital while receiving treatment.”

He added that the area where the incident occurred was cordoned, while he directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) to personally lead the team of investigators.

Confirming the arrest of a suspect, Olukolu said others were being sought for, expressing assurance that there would be other developments.

The AIG and the police commissioner emphasized that though there were pockets of violence, the elections in the state could be classified as peaceful.

“Though there were deaths, they were not related to the electoral process,” he stated.

Speaking on two other deaths that occurred, in addition to Sugar’s death, Olukolu said that the one that occurred at Akanran was not related to the election.

“The two suspects arrested in connection with the incident claimed they had a previous issue with the deceased, before fighting broke out again on the day of election, during which deceased collapsed and died.

“The vehicle they brought to the scene was also recovered.

“The third person that died was when a distress call indicated that about 15 hoodlums, who were armed, stormed a polling unit, approaching the venue with the mind of causing mayhem, snatching ballot boxes and inflicting injuries on members of the public.

“A team of patrol men were deployed and there was a response. A shot hit one of the hoodlums and he died. A shotgun was recovered, indicating that these people did not mean well for the entire society. We are working on it; whatever the circumstances are, all these cases are being investigated by the police to determine what happened exactly and appropriate actions would be taken,” the police commissioner said.

Meanwhile, the AIG commended the officers and men of the command for handling the state security during the elections efficiently, so much that all disturbances were handled and there was no cancellation of results.

He however decried the fake news that were circulated in Ibadan, urging the carrier of such news to do away with peddling unfounded rumours that could generate unnecessary heat and build tension.

He also spoke on the issue at Oba Akoko in Ondo State, which led to the release of detained suspects, saying that the hoodlums who invaded the police station were professionally prevented from setting the police station on fire.

“But the state Commissioner of Police, Unide Adie visited the place and restored calmness. Those injured were taken for treatment. We have assessed the situation. The outcome of the investigation is ongoing to determine next line of action.

“In Osun , we proactively posted operatives to areas where felt there would be issues, and surveillance was able to douse tension. Places like Ile Ife, Ede, Ilesa, Ifewara and Igangan were monitored. The police were able to do their best. That is why I’m on ground in Oyo State,” Oyebade said further.

Who killed Sugar?



I trust my nollywood movie producers....


my answers though, Maybe ants finished the Sugar, cus I really don't know how Sugar could be killed....

martooski:
The killing was not political has earlier indicated.
Infobhas it that Sugar was a cultist who has also killed many. It was just vengeance time from his colleagues in the same biz

oga surface without deepening in..... road side political analysis isn't too promising, how about you look at the situation surrounding his death and how the death occurred! how about those he had misunderstandings with recently or those who'd gain from his demise....m and voila you'd see the secret smiling at you ( except on rare cases tho)

Hon sugar was my senior back in school, Nd yes, he committed some atrocities that his name linger on till date at osiele, FYI, the house he lived in was dreaded by many and deserted for over 10years if not more!

He was on the field as usual, making the voting process understand his language, he got ambushed and killed! Not only him, many political death stewards got their fair share!


Dig deep man, that's fvucking political!
btw, you won't hear the name of the killer,No one will know that.... you'd know only when Funsho William, Bola Ige Killers are unravelled......

but then....

Death! !!

Swift response from the police. He who lives by the sword must die by the sword.

Hope this is not an innocent person oo.Nigeria police can be funny sometimes.Check my siggy for your rmb.

So who will arrest Sugar for the large number of people he assassinated ?

ybalogs:
Death! !!

Aided by mortals

Look at the people making our laws:
Killers, Cultists, Ogboni members, Frat boys, 419ers
That is why we move forward in a backward direction.

Live by the gun, die by the gun

Easy

Police will pick an average aboki on the road and inform him he has killed someone just to get pressure off their back

This is the only scenerio where we know police is active.
They won't bother if it were to be an ordinary Nigerian instead they will be asking the victim sympathizers to bring some amount of money to help with investigations. Makes me wonder whether it was only temitope sugar that got murdered in the elections

Info on his rise to power, remind me of khalil gibran masterpiece =The CRIMINAL....

Okay

NPF and EFCC I don't know who uses the media to arrest suspect more....

Bola ige
Funsho Williams
Dele giwa
Kudirat Abiola

Are still waiting for justice

waiting

I have no sympathy for whoever live a life of violence. May his deeds speaks for him.

I just wonder, u will want to feel pity for someone being killed but the pity will just vanished if you dey hear the kind thing that person don do. Rip to him o

haaa !
