The Ogun State Police Command has shot dead alleged serial killer and drug addict, Feyisola Dosumu, who was declared wanted by the police.
The police alleged that Dosumu, (aka Spartan), reportedly killed no fewer than seven people in Ogere and Iperu – Remo in Ikenne Local Government Area of the State.
Dosumu was shot dead by joint security forces in the Ogere area of the state on Tuesday. Dosumu, an alleged notorious cultist and drug addict were alleged to have hacked three people to death at Ogere and Iperu – Remo in Ikenne LGA three months ago.
The police further alleged that he hacked a nursing mother to death at Ogere and went ahead to kill a security guard attached to a poultry farm at Iperu-Remo.
Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr Edward Ajogun ,led his men to convey the body in a van to the Governor’s Office, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, where Governor Dapo Abiodun was briefed on the operations. Ajogun explained that the suspect was killed at his enclave around Ogere area after two days operations.
“His modus operandi was that he lived in the bushes in the community there from time to time. He usually sneaked out and hacked his victims to death. Then he progressed in that manner to selective victims, who he would hack to death, then dashed back to the bush.
“We employed the reactive means of always combing the bush each time this thing happened. So, he started this in April, then on the 21 again, the serial killer by name Feyisola Dosunmu a.k.a Spartan killed another victim.
“The governor called that I should try by all means to make sure I halt the senseless killings. Of course, the Inspector -General of Police also directed that we must fish out the killer, so from that 21 to date, we have been combing bushes for him.
“Yesterday (Monday) we almost arrested him, but he slipped through our fingers. So, I now felt it was important to employ technology. So, we contacted our technical platform in Abuja where we were provided assistance.
“Today (Tuesday), we were able to have a pin-point location where he was hiding and we engaged him; he broke bottles, drew the cutlass that he had been using to hack people to death, then of course we replied. We nailed him on the leg, unfortunately, it turned out to be fatal injury”.
The CP stated.
Speaking, Abiodun applauded the security agency and implored them not to rest on their oars in efforts to make Ogun a crime-free state.
The governor, however, vowed to flush out criminals of the state, noting that Ogun as the industrial hub must continue to be a safe environment for investment to thrive.”
