The Olojudo of Ido-Ayegunle, Oba Timileyin Ajayi, announced the arrest of four suspects believed to be involved in the murders of villagers in Osun State's Obokun Local Government Area.

The arrest comes after a request from the police for the suspects to be held while investigations are ongoing, highlighting the seriousness of the case.

Ajayi noted that the suspects were remanded by an Osun State Magistrate Court in Osogbo, where Magistrate Adekanmi Adeyeba ordered that they be held at the Ilesha Correctional Centre for a duration of 30 days. This decision allows law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation as they seek to gather additional evidence before taking further legal steps. The monarch emphasized the importance of community safety and accountability for the heinous act that has impactfully affected the local population.

The announcement of the arrests follows a tragic incident on June 15, 2025, where villagers were reportedly killed, provoking outrage and fear in the community. With several suspects still at large, community leaders and law enforcement are keen to ensure justice is served while addressing the broader issues of safety and security in the region. This incident underscores the need for strong judicial actions in response to violence in rural areas in Nigeria, where such tragedies can lead to deep-seated community unrest and calls for reforms in policing and governance.
