Babarinde and Ishola Semiu, the other suspect, are currently in police custody.

Following the arrest, unrest erupted at the Olodo Police Outpost, prompting additional security measures. The Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Olugbenga, urged residents to remain calm and resolve disputes through dialogue.",
