Police detained 4 OPC members for arresting bandits leader Iskilu Wakili
In a twist of fate, the Nigeria police have arrested and detained 4 gallant members of the OPC that arrested a notorious bandits Iskilu Wakili who had been terrorising the entire Ibarapa communities in Oyo State.
An OPC leader in Oyo State who pleaded anonymity, sadly confirmed that 4 members of the OPC who risked their lives to arrest Wakili were arrested at Igboora, taken to Eleyele Ibadan where they are currently being detained at the police cell, " on orders from above" according to the station DPO.
The DPO of Igboora division who effected the arrest of the OPC members, was said to have claimed he " got a signal from 'above' to arrest the 4 OPC members" . It could be recalled that 4 traditional Chiefs of Ifon town were similarly arrested and taken to Abuja for questioning on the flimsy excuses that they masterminds the killing of 20 cows to avenge the mercilessly killing of Olufon of Ifon, a first class Yoruba Ọba by Fulani bandits.
It is worrisome that the General Muhammadu Buhari led APC Presidency is in the habit of shielding known criminal suspects from arrest, detention and prosecution while those who dared resists bandits are witchhunted and declared as outlaws. Governor Zulum of Borno state, recently stated that terrorists the FG purportedly debriefed, rehabilitated and granted amnesty either went back to terrorism or banditry and kidnapping.
It is unfortunate that Nigeria has become a banana Republic, a lawless state where terrorists and bandits lives like kings while victims of criminality are being daily persecuted.
