The Ogun State Police Command has arrested an alleged serial rapist, kidnapper, and murderer, AbdulAzeez Ibrahim, in the Imaweje community of Ijebu-Ode on Sunday.

This was disclosed by the command spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, during a conversation to PUNCH Online, saying Ibrahim was arrested at about 2:30 am on Sunday.

The command accused the suspect to be a leader and gunrunner for the notorious Neo-Black Axe Movement, otherwise known as the Aye Confraternity and he is the second in command, named “Butcher” of the confraternity, and the custodian of all gang weapons used to terrorize some communities in Ijebu-Ode.

“Ibrahim was arrested in the early hours of today (Sunday). He claimed to be a final-year student at Tai Solarin University of Education in Ijegun. He is a serial rapist and murderer. He had earlier been wanted in a kidnapping case.

“He keeps the arms and ammunition the group used for their operations in the Ijebu area. He is believed to be the second in command, which is why they regard him as the ‘Butcher’. He is the leader of the group terrorising some communities in Ijebu-Ode.

“Following intelligence, the Special Weapons and Tactics team stormed his hideout, where several weapons and charms were recovered. One serviceable Beretta fully loaded with four rounds of live ammunition, one pump-action Rifle-Josef with 10 rounds of live cartridges, one English long double barrel rifle, two locally made short single barrel rifles, one locally made short single barrel with two rounds of live ammunition, assorted charms of body armor, and others were recovered from his apartment.”

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Alamutu Abiodun, through various sting operations, has promised to eliminate all criminal elements, including syndicate groups notorious for kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, and cultism.”

Ogun state in recent times has been battling with cult activities and killings leaving several people dead and two yet-to-be-identified persons were reportedly butchered to death by suspected cultists in Ota town in the Ado-Odo Ota area of the state.
