The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, says the Osun State Police Command has arrested a social media user, who tweeted: “Let’s kill all the Igbos.”
Adejobi, who gave the name of the Twitter user as Kehinde Adekusibe, made this known on his Twitter handle.
He stated: “Today 15th June 2023, the Osun Police Command arrested 28 years old Kehinde Adesogba Adekusibe who violated the social media policy on hate speech.
“It could be recalled that, on 18th May 2023, the suspect, Kehinde Adekusibe, on his tweeter handle, tweeted, ‘Let’s kill all the Igbos, Let’s flush them out of Yoruba lands. I hate these people with a passion. They are violent people. They are the worst. They hate us. Let’s hate them without holding back.’
“Immediately, the Police Command received the report, Police detective from the Cybercrime section at the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID) Osogbo swung into action, and through intelligence-led investigation, the suspect was arrested at Ilesa where he hibernated.
“The suspect has confessed to the crime, and he will be charged to the court after the completion of the investigation. We have done what is needed on this matter. It can only take some time, every offence committed leaves a trace, and culprits will surely face d music. Thanks to Osun State Police Command for its painstaking efforts on this singular case. Kudos.”
