The Ogun State Police Command has arrested 33-year-old Olayemi Shedrack, who has been on the wanted list for allegedly raping several female students of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) in Ijagun after robbing them of valuables.

According to a statement by the Command's Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, the suspect was apprehended in Ijagun after trying to blend in with a crowd. His capture was made possible through valuable information provided by the public.

"Acting on a tip-off, Olayemi Shedrack was spotted attempting to blend with the crowd in Ijagun, but his identity was confirmed through intelligence sources. He was swiftly arrested," Odutola confirmed.
