Ajimoti said the suspects were exposed by a passer-by, who he said raised an alarm when he saw Ako and his gang attempting to dump Daramola’s body in a bush. Ako was said to have been arrested and taken to the Moniya police station, Akinyele local government, Ibadan.
Daramola’s guardian, Mrs Folakemi Adedeji, urged the police to ensure justice in the matter.
