The Oyo state Police Command disclosed that nine suspects have been arrested in connection with the violence that led to the killing of a 40-year-old man, Hakeem Mudasiru also known as Baraka.
In a telephone conversation, the Oyo state Police Command Spokesman, Wale Osifeso, told newsmen that the father of the deceased made a report to the Durbar Divisional Police Headquarters, Oyo around 1:35 pm on Wednesday 28th December that his son was killed during an argument that turned violent between him and some hoodlums.
Osifeso said it was unfortunate that some are attaching political colouration to the violence that broke out from an argument.
He added that preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased was attacked by hoodlums who he had earlier engaged in a heated argument which degenerated into violence.
At the moment, 9 suspects including a female have been arrested even as investigations into the matter intensify.
The police appealed for calm and assured that some operatives have been sent to the area to prevent further breaches of the peace.
