The Osun State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old man identified as, Kehinde Adesogba Adekusibe for allegedly threatening to kill Igbos residing in Yoruba land, (South West).
The Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed the arrest on his verified Twitter handle on Friday.
He wrote, “The Osun Police Command has arrested one Kehinde Adesogba Adekusibe ‘m’ 28years who violated the social media policy on hate speech.
“It could be recalled that, on 18th May, 2023, the suspect, Kehinde Adekusibe, on his Twitter 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 worst. They hate us. Let’s hate them without holding back”.
“Immediately the police command received the report, police detectives from the cybercrime section at SCID Osogbo swung into action and through intelligence-led investigation, the suspect was arrested at Ilesa, where he hibernated.

We have done what is needful on this matter. It can only take some time; every offence committed leaves a trace, and culprits will surely face the music.”
