The Ogun state Police command while confirming the report said the that the duo had since been arrested for killing the man at the Alaako-Ijeun Egboro area of Abeokuta, Ogun State on March 28th.

While speaking on the arrest of the duo, a resident and eyewitness said ‘’The herbalist had been warned several times to desist from placing sacrifices at junctions in the community. He was summoned to a meeting by the community leaders but he did not honour the invitation. Same with Oloruntoyin, who also has not been attending landlords’ meetings.’’
