The Public Relations Officer of the Ekiti State Police Command, Mr. Caleb Ikechukwu, who announced this, on Tuesday, said the suspect was arrested in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, on Monday.
According to Ikechukwu, Omoniyi was arrested “around 4.30 pm on Monday around Ajao Market in Ado-Ekiti,” and added that the name of the suspect was Stephen Ademola Omoniyi.
Ikechukwu said: “The suspect has been arrested and he was brought in under investigation.
“He confessed to the act and our investigation continues.
“The matter has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for more investigation.”
He assured that the police would be professional in their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing of the monarch.
Omoniyi allegedly stabbed Oba Ogunsakin with a knife, on Monday, and was said to have fled.
This prompted angry protests among the youth of the community, who also launched a manhunt for him.
Community sources claimed that Oba Ogunsakin was stabbed by the killer after he had presided a meeting with his chiefs.
