Sunday Shodipe, a notorious suspected serial killer was re-arrested on Sunday, August 23, 2020 after he escaped from Mokola Police Station in Ibadan, Oyo State on August 18.
Shodipe has spoken to the press about the circumstances that led to his escape from police custody.
The suspect says he took advantage of the negligence of the police officers on duty.
“The new female DPO asked officer Funsho to allow me take my bath. He cautioned me not to try to escape when I am taking my bath,” Shodipe said.
He added, “I escaped when I saw him discussing with another person. I climbed the borehole pole and jumped the fence. The people living in the area saw me when I escaped but they did not raise any alarm.”
A N500,000 bounty was put out for Shodipe and he was re-arrested at Iwo Road by a group with the support of a tactical team that had once worked with the Special Adviser on Security Matters to Governor Makinde, Fatai Owoseni in Akure.
He was trailed to where he bought and smoked hemp in the city but was not arrested then because of the crowd in the area. He was arrested while alone in a hideout.
