Saturday, July 13, 2024 -A confessed member of a secret cult group called Aye, Olabode Owoeye, popularly known as ‘Bode Itapa’ has commended Osun Police Command for ensuring he was arrested after being on the police wanted list for over 2 years.
Bode Itapa’ was among suspected criminals
arrested across the state for various crimes paraded at the Osun Police Command
headquarters in Osogbo on Friday.

resulted in the deaths of several individuals including residents who usually
get hit by stray bullets.
Answering questions from journalists, Bode
Itapa, admitted being a member of the Aye group but denied killing anyone,
adding that he was however present when two members of a rival group were
killed.
“Have been with the police for 104 days. I
am not a political thug. I am their child, they would have secured my release.
I am a member of Peoples Democratic Party but I do not work for them to get to
position of authority.
“I want to plead with the government to have
mercy on mercy, I won’t repeat mistakes I made in the past. I thank Osun State
Police Command, the Anti kidnapping Squad. I thank them because they did their
job well.
“This will serve as a big lesson for others that are members
of cult groups or involved in thuggery. There is no one above the law. I regret
being a member of cult group. Whoever sees me in this state my take caution and
change. If they fail to change, they will meet their waterloo one day,” he said.
