The alleged serial killer who broke detention at an Ibadan police station, Sunday Shodipe, has been rearrested.
He is currently being held at Eleyele Police Division, according to the Oyo State Police Command.
The 19-year-old Shodipe escaped from detention on August 11, to the embarrassment of the police establishment.
Spokesman of the Oyo State Police Command, Gbenga Fadeyi, confirmed his rearrest on Sunday.
The suspect, accused of killing no fewer than six people in Akinyele LGA, was rearrested in the home of his grandmother in Ojoo area of Ibadan.
On Saturday, the Oyo Police commissioner, Chuks Enwonwu, announced a N500,000 reward for information that would lead to his arrest.
The Inspector-General of Police also deployed three special squads to assist in the manhunt.
