More Details Emerge On How one million boys Leader Ebila Was Killed

Details have emerged on how the leader of Ibadan, Oyo State notorious gang, One Million Boys, Abiola Ebila, was killed on Sunday afternoon.

It was gathered from a reliable source, who craved anonymity, that Ebila and his team kidnapped a middle-aged man, whose name could not be ascertained as at press time and kept him in one room at Aboderin Compound, Kudeti, Ibadan and demanded N1million as ransom.

The source further hinted that the victim told the gang to let them approach a nearby ATM to withdraw money, an offer Ebila and his team turned down.

They reportedly threatened to kill him if he refused to make the money available as they requested.

The source said that it was at this point that Ebila asked the victim to call anyone who could bring the money for him to escape being killed, adding that the call made from Ebila’s den gave the operatives of Operation Burst the information about the ongoing criminal act and the whereabouts of the gang and the victim.

“Men of the Operation Burst, therefore, swung into action by heading to Aboderin Compound, Kudeti”, the source said.

The source revealed further that Ebila and his team, numbering 15, upon sighting the security men, started shooting at them sporadically.

This, we gathered led to the shooting of Ebila, who was trying to escape through the river line of the popular Kudeti River.

The source said that while the men of Operation Burst were trying to overpower other members of the gang, some of them managed to escape with the corpse of Ebila, who was shot twice at the back.

It will be recalled that Ebila was declared wanted sometime in April 2020 in connection with the murder of one Ibadan most wanted thug, Moshood Oladokun, popularly known as Ekugbemi.

Ekugbemi was reportedly matcheted to death at Olomi area of Ibadan during a clash with a rival cult group.
