Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Ige Adams, has applauded the joint efforts of all the security operatives in Ibarapa in Oyo State on the arrest of the most dreaded and notorious kidnap kingpin, Abdullah Wakilu and three others in a joint operation carried out on Sunday, describing the development as a positive signal to other criminal elements that the South-West was no longer safe for them.
The joint team of Ibarapa security operatives, including Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), vigilante and other groups had arrested Wakilu and others after several attempts culminating in a gun battle.
Wakilu was nabbed barely seven days after his second-in-command, Isiaka Muhammadu, was arrested alongside four others, by the Oyo State chapter of the OPC on the directives of the Yoruba generalissimo.
