The Lagos State Police Command has announced the arrest of Abubakar Iliyasu, the prime suspect in the murder of 65-year-old Jane Okoye, who was killed in the Orile Iganmu area of Lagos on April 2, 2025.

A statement by the spokesperson of the command, Benjamin Hundeyin, on Sunday, disclosed that Iliyasu was apprehended by detectives from the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, after being tracked to Ankpa, Kogi State.

According to the police, the suspect had “forcibly gained access to the victim’s premises and fled with her Toyota Sienna vehicle.”

Okoye was found unconscious and rushed to a medical facility, where she was later pronounced dead.

The statement added, “Following the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, for a discreet and thorough investigation, a team of homicide detectives promptly swung into action, deploying both intelligence and technical resources to get the suspect apprehended and recover the stolen property.”

Police stated that their efforts yielded success when Iliyasu was located in Kogi State and arrested.

“The vehicle was recovered in good condition and has since been secured as evidence in the ongoing investigation,” the statement noted.

The suspect is currently being held at SCID, Yaba, where he is said to be cooperating with investigators.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohunde Jimoh, assured the public that justice would be served.

“The suspect will be prosecuted after the investigation,” Hundeyin stated, emphasising that the command “remains steadfast in its mission to protect lives and property in Lagos State.”

From Harvard With Love: Why Ijebuland Is Blessed With A Strong Choice

Education has long been one of the defining strengths of the Awùjalẹ̀ institution in Ijebuland. The immediate past Awùjalẹ̀, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, was widely respected not only for the length of his reign but also for his intellectual depth, discipline, and exposure.

His solid formal education and broad worldview shaped a reign marked by courage, clarity, and principled leadership. Under him, Ijebuland benefited from a ruler who could engage confidently with governments, institutions, and global audiences while remaining firmly rooted in tradition. It is therefore unsurprising that education remains a central consideration as conversations continue about the next Awùjalẹ̀.

Within this context, Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo’s educational background has drawn considerable attention. He holds a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Banking and Finance from Lagos State University, a discipline that provided him with strong foundations in economics, financial systems, and organizational discipline.

Beyond this, he pursued advanced executive education at some of the world’s most respected institutions, including Harvard Business School, the Wharton School, and Columbia Business School, where he refined his understanding of leadership, international strategy, corporate governance, and global capital markets. This level of exposure places him firmly within the long-standing tradition of educated Ijebu leadership.

Since discussions about the possible choice of Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo began, many people have asked further questions about his pedigree and readiness. His people and those who know him well, including Mr. Rabiu Oliyide and Mrs. Olowolayemo Kowoti, consistently affirm that he is well qualified, not only on paper, but in conduct and character.

Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo is deeply rooted in Ijebu royal heritage. His lineage carries a clear understanding that the Awùjalẹ̀ stool is not ornamental but sacred, an institution built on discipline, restraint, and lifelong service to the people. Those close to him often speak of his respect for tradition and his belief that kingship demands humility and moral authority. At a time when traditional institutions must consciously preserve their relevance, many see in him someone who understands both the weight of history and the responsibility of the future.

Age and maturity have also featured prominently in discussions. While leadership is not defined by age alone, Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo is widely regarded as being at a stage of life marked by emotional balance, perspective, and readiness for responsibility. He represents a generation able to listen to elders while also understanding the realities of younger Ijebu sons and daughters, many of whom live and work beyond Nigeria’s borders. This balance is increasingly important for a kingdom whose influence now extends far beyond its geographical boundaries.

Beyond heritage and education, his record of leadership is already well established. As Chairman and Founder of Kleensteps Holdings, he oversees a diversified group operating across luxury services, security solutions, and strategic infrastructure development. His leadership philosophy emphasizes disciplined growth, strong governance, and sustainability, principles that align closely with the demands of traditional authority in a modern world.

Perhaps most compelling to many people in Ijebuland is his long history of quiet service. Long before his name was ever associated with the Awùjalẹ̀ stool, he had supported students struggling to remain in school, assisted widows and elderly people facing hardship, and contributed to community and youth initiatives. These acts were carried out without publicity or political ambition, reflecting a genuine commitment to the welfare of others.

Support for Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo has not been driven by noise or lobbying. It has grown organically through shared experiences and long observation of his conduct. In him, many see a blend of sound education, echoing the intellectual tradition of past Awùjalẹ̀s, strong heritage, maturity, and compassion.

At this important moment in Ijebu history, it is understandable why so many believe Ijebuland is blessed to have such a thoughtful and well-prepared choice before it.
