According to Ojelabi, the arrest was made following a shooting event at Dada Estate Area in Osogbo that occurred on a Sunday.

The driver of the ash-coloured Toyota Corolla, one of the vehicles implicated in the chase, was shot and pronounced dead by medical personnel at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, he mentioned.
