The police said a  woman was burnt to death while the OPC members were attempting to arrest Wakili, thereby accusing them of murder.

Gbenga Fadeyi, the police command’s spokesperson, said this in a statement.

He also said Wakili has been moved to the hospital, as a result of his “frail appearance and state of health”.

Rhe Fulani warlord was arrested in Ibarapa area of Oyo on Sunday, after a gun fight with the OPC and other security groups.

He had been accused of various crimes in the state and had challenged Sunday Adeyemo, Yoruba rights activists,  popularly known as Sunday Igboho, to a duel after the latter asked herders to leave Ibarapa for allegedly perpetrating insecurity in the area.

In the statement issued hours after the arrest, Fadeyi said the police was alerted to the invasion of Wakili’s house by the OPC around 9:00am on Sunday.

“While there, the house of the Wakili in question was set ablaze, while a female (the identity of who is yet to be ascertained) was burnt in the fire and Wakili (about 75 years old and blind) with two other persons were picked up”, the statement said.

“The three of them are presently in the custody of the Police. The Commissioner of Police has directed that Wakili (due to his frail appearance and state of health), be moved to the hospital while others are being interrogated. Others being interrogated are the OPC members, involved in arson and murder”.

Fadeyi added that anyone found to have committed any crime, especially regarding the matter, “would not be spared” by the police.

“In conclusion, anybody that has any case against Iskilu Wakili should report it to the State Criminal Investigation Department, (CID) Iyaganku Ibadan for discreet Investigation,” he said.
