Investigation into the violence
Ojelabi called on people whose names are mentioned in connection with the violence to report to the nearest police station rather than explain their position on social media. According to him, the police commissioner promised to find everyone involved and ensure they are held accountable regardless of their status.
The source links the violence at the motor park to a dispute over leadership and control of transport facilities in Ile-Ife.

The circumstances of his killing are still under investigation.
