“At that instance, two of their members were also arrested, so they retrieved and brought the corpses to the station.

“He has been on the wanted list of the police and the police have been trailing him.

“What actually transpired and details on how he was killed, I don’t have it now, but he has been confirmed dead.’’

Ebila, who had been on the wanted list of Oyo State Police Command was reportedly killed around Olomi area of Ibadan.
