BREAKING: Notorious Fulani herder, Iskilu Wakili arrested by OPC

Iskilu Wakili, a notorious Fulani warlord who have allegedly killed and maimed with daring effrontery and crude savagery in Ibarapa area of Oyo State has finally met his waterloo.

This is just as latest members of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) Sunday morning arrested the kidnap kingpin, Cityvoice reports.

Recall that Wakili became the most feared bandit in Ibarapa farmers after the eviction of the Seriki Fulani, Abdulkadri Saliu, from Igangan also in Ibarapaland.

Recall that Mr Taiwo Adisa, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, had disclosed that the men of the Oyo State Security Network Agency, otherwise known as Amotekun, have been mandated to go after the notorious Fulani herder, Wakili.

However his reign of terror came to a juddering end Sunday morning when a detachment of Iba Gani Adams’ OPC personnel swooped into the community to arrest Wakili, who had long boasted he was untouchable.

Unconfirmed reports said he has since been handed over to the police.
Although, there are reports that he might have been killed, however, Idoma Voice could not confirm this at the moment but photos sighted online showed that Wakili was seen alive inside a vehicle of the OPC.
