The command noted that while acting on the tip-off, detectives were immediately dispatched, leading to the arrest of the suspects in the early hours of January 2, 2025.


Odutola stated, ā€œDuring interrogation, the suspects confessed to the crime, explaining how they stole, transported, and later slaughtered the he-goat on December 27, 2024.


ā€œThey disclosed that the goat was used to prepare food for the naming ceremony of Akintoye Warrisā€™s daughter, which was held at Olodo.


ā€œThe suspects are currently in custody and undergoing further investigation at the Divisional Crime Branch.ā€


She assured the concerned residents that the suspects would be prosecuted in court once the investigation is concluded and added that any further developments in the case would be communicated in due course.
