The Oyo State Police Command has arrested three men over allegations of engaging in homosexual acts following an intelligence-led operation in the state.
The suspects were identified as Ayomide Lukeman, 22; Shuaib Aremu, 22; and Abdul-Rasheed Mufeed, 23.
In a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, the command said operatives of its Monitoring Unit, Saki Operational Base, arrested the suspects after receiving intelligence about the alleged conduct.
According to the statement, the police received the information on September 29, 2026, prompting the Commissioner of Police to direct the Monitoring Unit to verify the report and take appropriate action.
The command said preliminary investigations indicated that the suspects allegedly admitted to engaging in homosexual acts.
It further claimed that two of the suspects reportedly confessed to having had sexual relations with the third suspect on several occasions, allegedly referring to him as their “wife.”
The police said investigations were ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the allegations and determine whether other individuals were involved.
The command reaffirmed its commitment to conducting investigations professionally, impartially and in accordance with the law. It also urged members of the public to provide timely and credible information to assist law enforcement efforts.
