Opeyemi, who resides at 1, Alowolodu Street, Alapere-Ketu, was apprehended at Alakara area of the state. Following a petition received from the management of Lagos University Teaching Hospital LUTH, Idi Araba, about the activities of Opeyemi, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Alakara, Mr. Emmanuel Adebisi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, was mandated to investigate the case which led to the arrest of the suspect.
