The Lagos State Police command has confirmed the arrest Malik Onebiri alias Kobad Baron who was fingered as the arrowhead of the notorious Eiye confraternity that attacked a Police patrol team stationed at Haruna Bus Stop by College Road, Ifako Ijaiye, Ogba, vandalizing a patrol car and killing one Sergeant Collins Esiabor in the process.

Recall that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Imohimi Edgal, on account of the incident, vowed that the command would arrest those behind the dastardly act.

The CP while making the vow said that the leader of the group, one Malik Onebiri, alias Kobad Baron who allegedly fired the shot that killed the officer, could only run but not hide.

In keeping with the pledge, the operatives of the command attached to Area ‘G’ command, Ogba, swung into action and had so far arrested 19 persons who took part in the crime.

Meanwhile, the arrow head of the group, Malik Onebiri, left the state immediately after the attack on the police team.

However, through discreet investigation carried out on the matter, police detectives arrested the said Malik Onebiri in his hideout in Gboko, Benue state.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Chike Oti while confirming the arrest in a statement recalled that the command issued a press statement about the incident on 29/08/ 2018 and on 05/09/2018, paraded eight suspects linked to the arson and murder.

Oti observed that investigation thus far revealed that the notorious cultists attacked the police team to avenge the death of one of their members, who died while fleeing when he sighted a contingent of policemen on operational duties around Ifako Ijaiye Ogba.

“He probably thought the police team came for his arrest and took to his heels, fatally injuring himself in the process. It was also discovered that nobody reported the fate of the boy said to be a member of the Eiye confraternity until his associates in the deadly cult group attacked the police patrol team”, he explained.

He however quoted the CP as reiterating that the command would visit the full weight of the law on anybody or group that resorts to self-help or jungle justice in matters requiring the intervention of the law.
