The operatives of the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID), Abuja, have arrested five suspects in connection with the murder of a land agent, Yemi Taiwo, who died on September 8, 2020, four days after he was abducted by his killers, along with one Femi Animasaun who survived the torture.
They were abducted in the Isiwu area of Ikorodu.
The arrested suspects were identified as Ola Tijani, Michael James, Ahmed Kasumu Tunde James and Kose alias “Sharp Shooter.”
It was gathered that they were arrested after a review of the video of the torture incident that allegedly led to the death of the land agent.
The arrest of the suspects followed a directive from the office of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba, to FCID after following petition from the representatives of the survivor of the torture incident, Femi Animasaun, and the wife of the deceased Taiwo, Olabisi Taiwo.
The suspects were said to be some of those identified in the viral video of the dehumanising torture of the deceased and Animasaun, the survivor, inside the premises of Ikorodu North Local Government.
Meanwhile, the wife of the deceased and the survivor as well as their family members have raised the alarm over their safety following reported attacks and threat to their lives from suspected colleagues of the arrested suspects.
The duo of the deceased Taiwo and the survivor prior to the incident were said to be on their way to the former’s site in Isiwu on September 4, 2020, when they were abducted, tortured, dehumanised and stripped, which allegedly resulted to Taiwo’ s death.
