Olalekan Oyeyemi Ajagungbade, alias Emir, was an adviser to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and he was killed at Ile-Ife. Nurudeen Alowonle and Adeyemi Ojo, also known as Sibi, are wanted by the Osun State Police Command for this crime.
As part of its continuous attempts to apprehend the two main suspects and other individuals allegedly involved in the crime, the command also announced the arrest of six suspects in connection with the murder.
During a press briefing with journalists at the command headquarters on Monday, the Commissioner of Police in Osun State, CP Ibrahim Zungura, revealed this while outlining operational accomplishments and progress achieved in the investigation.
It all started on September 13, 2026, when someone called in a distress signal saying that masked individuals had stormed the Mayfair Garage in Ile-Ife and started shooting randomly. That’s according to the authorities.
According to Zungura, he ordered the State Criminal inquiry Department’s (SCID) Deputy Commissioner of Police to lead the inquiry after the event.
Ayeni Adegbola Olalekan, Sijuade Moruf Oyinlola, Akinsola Ekundayo, and Tijani Ismail were the individuals apprehended.
He also mentioned that a firearm that was trimmed to size was found on him.
According to the police commissioner, Dauda supposedly admitted to giving the gun to Alowonle throughout questioning.
