The Oyo State Police Command has explained why officers from the Kwara State Police Command attempted to arrest Abdulazeez Adegbola, popularly known as Tani Olohun, in Ibadan on Tuesday.
The command said the officers were in Ibadan on official duty to arrest Tani Olohun based on a warrant issued by the Upper Ilorin Magistrates’ Court, Ilorin, over allegations bordering on conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the warrant was issued after Tani Olohun allegedly failed to honour the conditions of bail earlier granted to him, prompting the court to order his arrest.
The Oyo State Commissioner of Police directed the officers to return to their base and advised the complainant to approach the appropriate court in Ibadan, being the alleged location of the offence, in line with due process and the principle of territorial jurisdiction.
