“We urge all parties involved to remain calm as Police will investigate the matter and the law will catch up with perpetrators of the heinous crime” Ayanlade said
It was gathered that Ibrahim was declared missing on Aug. 17 after colleagues had combed almost everywhere in Ore before his remains was found inside a well on Thursday.
A commercial motorcyclist who spoke on condition of anonymity said that Ibrahim’s Bajaj motorcycle had also not been found since he went missing, raising suspicion of foul play.
He said that the de@th of Ibrahim may be a case of alleged motorcycle snatching, which had become rampant in the area in recent time.
