He was arrested on August 17 about 003hrs in a hideout in Isiwo, Ijebu and presently undergoing police preliminary investigation in Igbeba Division.
Credible information was provided by the public which sustained the police tracks that indicated the hideout of the fleeing suspects.
Upon receiving this information, a team of detectives promptly mobilised and took action by moving to the location, where Kunle Polly was apprehended.
During interrogations, Kunle Polly admitted to being a member of the Eiye Confraternity. This prompted a search warrant to be conducted at his residence and it led to the recovery of a Beretta pistol with six live rounds, two UTC axes and charms.
