The incident happened on Monday night when Igboho stormed the troubled area in Yewaland.
However, the spokesman of the Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, yesterday told newsmen in Abeokuta that three suspects have been arrested in connection with the crime.
Oyeyemi also disclosed that there have been attacks in the past three days on herdsmen settlements in Yewaland.

He has never bulged.
