Police Arrest Suspected Serial Killer in Osun

The Osun Police Command has arrested one Teslim Raji, also known as Akerele, and his accomplice, Femi Bamidele for alleged serial killings, kidnappings and gun running, within the Ikire axis of the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mrs Abiodun Ige, while parading the suspects in Osogbo, said the main suspect, Raji, was arrested after series of complaints by residents.

She said Raji, who is being investigated for the crime, was arrested last year, charged to court and granted bail but later jumped bail.

She said after jumping bail, the suspect still went ahead to kill someone and that since then the police had been on his trail.

“His conspirator was arrested earlier when our officer went to his house and one of his boys tried to escape,” she said.
