This is coming nine months after Olakunrin was attacked between Kajola and Ore on the Ondo- Ore Road in Ondo State on July 13, 2019 , while travelling in a black Toyota Highlander SUV . Other vehicles were also ambushed and several persons , including Olakunrin’ s driver , were kidnapped , but were later rescued . Her murder stoked tension in the South- West and subsequently hastened the establishment of a regional security outfit codenamed , Amotekun , by governors in the region . The Afenifere spokesperson, Yinka Odumakin , had on April 7 , 2020 , said in a statement that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the murder . However , his assertion was refuted by the Ondo State Police Command , which claimed that it was not aware of the development . Confirming the arrest of the suspects in a statement on Thursday, the force spokesman , Frank Mba , recalled that the Inspector -General of Police , Mohammed Adamu , had in the aftermath of the incident directed the Commissioner of Police , Federal Special Anti -Robbery Squad , Fimihan Adeoye, to coordinate the team of police special forces and seasoned investigators from the Force Criminal Investigation Department , the Intelligence Response Team and the Technical Intelligence Unit to investigate the murder . Mba stated that after months of relentless efforts, the police team, on March 4, 2020 , during a follow- up action on a high -profile armed robbery and kidnap for ransom case that occurred in Ogun State, arrested Abubakar , an accessory after the fact of the crime, along the Sagamu - Ore Expressway in Ondo State. The statement said , “The arrest of Abubakar led to the arrest of two other members of the gang , Mohammed Usman and Lawal Mazaje , in Benin, Edo State, from whom a cache of ammunition was recovered , and one other , Adamu Adamu , in Akure , Ondo State. “ Having established sufficient physical and forensic evidence linking the suspects to the killing of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, the investigators , determined to clear all doubts relating to their findings , on April 8 , 2020 , conducted an identification parade at the Federal SARS headquarters , Lagos, which led to the positive and physical identification of Adamu , Mazaje and Usman by a survivor of the earlier crime. ” The police said the survivor gave a clear description of the roles each of the identified suspects played in the killing . “ At this point , the suspects capitulated and voluntarily offered a no holds barred confession on how Mrs Olakunrin was killed, ” the force stated . It added that the eight - man gang had their operational base and membership spread in the south -western part of the country and Edo State, noting that it was responsible for a series of high -profile armed robbery and kidnap operations in the region . The statement said the gang also attacked , vandalised and stole components of critical national infrastructure such as electrical and telecommunications installations . Meanwhile , the IG has declared the principal suspect , Tambaya, wanted for his role in the killing of Olakunrin. “ Tambaya, a Nigerian , speaks Hausa , Fulfulde and pidgin English languages . He is fair in complexion and in his late 20 s, between the ages of 27 and 30 . His last known address is Isanlu , Kogi State.
