Similarly; the Inspector General of Police, MOHAMMED ADAMU, has sent help to Oyo State Command in the search for the runaway suspected serial killer.
The police reinforcement involves operatives of the Intelligence Response Team and the Special Tactical Squad of the Force Intelligence Bureau in Abuja.
C.P. ADAMU wants the team to uncover the circumstances that led to the escape of SUNDAY SHODIPE from police custody.
The directive of the IGP was confirmed in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, FRANK MBAH.

The Police Public Relations Officer, OLUGBENGA FADEYI, told Lasgidi News Desk that the protesters were received by the Commissioner of Police, NWACHUKWU ENWONWU.
