One of the suspected killers of Mrs Funke Olakunri, the daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Adamu Adamu on Tuesday attempted to escape from the Infectious Disease Hospital where he is currently being treated for coronavirus pandemic.
A police source confirmed the incident to Sahara Reporters on Wednesday in Akure.
He disclosed that the suspect had been adopting different tactics in a bid to escape from the hospital.
According to the police source, Adamu had already been “chained to a bed” at the facility to avoid him escaping.
“We noticed that each time the suspect took permission from nurses to ease himself, he would stay for a long time in the toilet.
“But we have tightened security around the Infectious Disease Hospital and also drafted more people to the facility,” the source said.
The Spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, Tee-Leo Ikoro, said the police have drafted more personnel to the facility to ensure the suspect did not escape.
He added that the police will protect the suspect until he recovers to face trial on the murder case.
Recall that Meridian Spy reported, week ago, one of the suspected killers of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere leader, Pa Fasoranti, Adamu Adamu tested positive for COVID-19.
The Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu broke the news via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday April 26, stating that the Commissioner of Police in the state has been duly informed and the line tracing of police officers and others in the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS facility, where the suspected killer who tested positive for the virus was kept, has started and their specimens are being collected.
