A notorious wanted serial killer, Rasheed Hamed, popular known as Rasheed Okoilu, has been arrested in the early hours of Sunday.
Okoilu was arrested while on a killing spree in Egbatedo, Osogbo, where he killed three people.
Spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command, SP Yemisi Opalola, said in a statement in Osogbo, that the suspect was tracked to where he was arrested.
She added that the suspect was arrested by a combined team of police officers from Dugbe Police Station and Oke Baale Police Station with support from local hunters.
Opalola said the suspect had been handed over to the anti-cultism department of the Police Command in the state and was undergoing processing.
The Osun Police Command had on March 10, declared Rasheed Okoilu and one Solomon Adedimeji (Solo Iwara) wanted in connection with offences of murder, arson, ritual killings, armed robbery, rape and kidnapping.
The police warned that anybody that harboured the suspects would be treated as an accomplice to their crimes.
The police, however, promised anyone with useful information to the whereabouts of the wanted persons, a handsome reward.
