Men of the Oyo State Police Command have arrested no fewer than four suspects in connection with the recent civil unrest in some parts of Ibadan, the state capital.
The command noted that the suspects are still in police custody for necessary interrogation.
The command made the disclosure in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade.
The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Thursday.
