Condemning the attack, the Chairman of Okitipupa Local Government, Soga Andrew Ogunsakin, said in a statement released to NAIJAONPOINT — and shared on his Facebook page — that immediate action was taken to restore order and ensure accountability.
Ogunsakin confirmed that three suspects have been apprehended, while efforts are ongoing to track down additional individuals involved in the assault. He also revealed that some of Obesere’s stolen belongings had been recovered.

I’m pleased to inform the public that three suspects connected to the disturbance have been arrested, while efforts are ongoing to track down other individuals involved. Some items said to have been stolen have also been successfully recovered,” he said.
