The suspect had, in the past, been declared wanted by the police, charged for murder and remanded at Ikoyi Prison for over a year but with the help of some influential members of his community, was able to obtain a motion for bail application and was released under controversial circumstances.
It was learnt that after his release, the suspect allegedly went after those who had collaborated with the police to arrest him. All attempts by policemen to arrest him had proved abortive.
The police have been trailing him and it paid off last Thursday when the policemen, led by the Area Commander, ACP Omololu Bishi, arrested him at the visa application centre with travel documents.
A police source said, “Around 2pm on that day, a team of policemen on patrol duty, rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect.
Policemen have beefed up security in Mushin following threats from Muda’s gang members who have threatened to carry out reprisals for his arrest.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, confirmed Muda’s arrest. “The suspect has been transferred to the SCID. Investigations will reveal all his crimes,” she said.
