An Oyo State Family Court 2, sitting at Iyaganku Ibadan yesterday ordered the remand of the owner of Kingdom Cornerstone Orphanage Home, alleged to have raped two girls in the orphanage.
The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olugbenga Fadeyi, who spoke in Ibadan on Monday, urged members of the public to disregard the allegation that police detained the complainants who reported the Fulani herdsmen at the Police Station in Ibarapa axis.
Wakili was arrested by members of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) following an alleged petition by residents of Ayete Ibarapa that he and his men were destroying their farms.
Some members of the community had, during the weekend, threatened that if the police released the old man and he returned to Ibarapa, there might be crisis.
The police spokesman said: “We would like to inform the general public that sequel to the arrest of Iskilu Wakili and two other persons and subsequent transfer to State Criminal Investigation Department, (CID), Iyaganku, Ibadan, discreet investigation on the suspects has commenced.
