The Osun State Police Command has declared factional chairman of the National Union
of Road Transport Workers, Nurudeen Alowonle, wanted in connection with the death
of Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Emir.

Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Zungura announced this on Monday while parading suspects
at the command’s headquarters in Osogbo. He said six people, including Alowonle’s
personal assistant and an Amotekun operative, had been arrested over the September
13 incident at a motor park in Ile-Ife.

Zungura identified those in custody as Tijani Ismail, Akinsola Ekundayo, Sijuade
Moruf, Ayeni Adegbola, Hammed Dada and Waliyu Adejare. He said officers were also
searching for another NURTW official, Ojo Adeyemi, also known as Sibi, and other
suspects allegedly linked to the incident.

According to the commissioner, suspects’ statements implicated Alowonle and Adeyemi
in allegedly mobilising those involved. Zungura also named a suspect as Hammed Olalekan
Dauda, popularly known as Jagaban, who was allegedly found with a shortened firearm.
He said Dauda told investigators that Alowonle supplied the weapon.

Further investigations led to the arrest of Alowonle’s personal assistant, Adejare,
also known as Jay Jay, the commissioner added. “Alowonle is declared wanted. The
Command is intensifying efforts to apprehend Nurudeen Alowonle, Adeyemi Ojo aka 
Sibi, and other suspects currently at large,” Zungura said. The Osun Amotekun Corps
had earlier said it handed four operatives over to the police to assist with investigations
into Oyeyemi’s death.

In a separate development, the commissioner announced the arrest of Oniyefa Olayemi
following a clash that left four people dead at Alapa village, along Toro Road in
Ile-Ife. He identified the deceased as Toyin Olagbaju, Emmanuel Agunbiade, a man
identified only as Akeem, and Ademola, also known as Small.

Zungura said police received a report on October 5, 2026, alleging that about 10
armed men entered the village between October 4 and 5 and opened fire. Olagbaju,
40, was among those who died. He said preliminary investigations linked the confrontation
to a dispute between rival groups over control of a large cocoa farm. According 
to police, the groups were allegedly led by Awosunle Tosin, who remains at large,
and Agunbiade, also known as Abore.

Recovered items included two locally made guns, a small axe, 11 spent cartridges,
one live cartridge and three empty AK-47 ammunition casings. Zungura said Olayemi
was assisting investigators and urged residents to support the command with information
to help maintain law and order across the state.
