The combined team of security operatives in Oyo State called Operation Burst has said that the corpse of the popular Ibadan gang leader, Yasheed Biola also known as Ebila is yet to be found.
The Director-General of Operation Burst, Colonel Oladipo Ajibola (rtd), confirmed that his unit killed Biola Ebila during a gun battle with his One Million Boys group in Kudeti area on Sunday afternoon but the members of the gang escaped his dead body.
OYOMIND.COM.NG recalled that Biola Ebila was mentioned to have led the team that killed Moshood Ekugbemi in April which is exactly three months.
Oladipo urged residents of the state not to fret on living in a peaceful environment, assuring that Operation Burst will continue to be in the vanguard in security and ensuring the safety of lives and properties in the state.
“We got credible information. So, in the course of moving to the Kudeti area, where the distress call came from, the informant further informed us that there was a kidnap victim in an abandoned building in the area.
“The informant told us that three of Abiola Ebila’s boys kidnapped a victim, so we moved in.
“We are aware of the fact that One Million Boys and other groups have constituted themselves as a nuisance.
“On sighting us, One Million boys started with sporadic fire, and in the course of exchanging fire, many of them sustained injuries. We then gunned down Abiola Ebila and then moved into the abandoned building where we found the victim, Olufemi Awogboro and we rescued him.
“During the operation, other members fled, collected the corpse and took him away but there was a trail of blood hence the operation was successful.
“This was done in line with the mandate of His Excellency, Engineer Seyi Makinde that we must rid Oyo State of crimes and criminalities and that security of lives and properties is important.
