It was learnt that the operation which led to the arrest of the officer, followed a confession by a male suspect already in custody, who claimed that Oloyede had provided him with two Facebook accounts and an MTN SIM card.

The items were allegedly used to lure victims and carry out various cyber-related crimes.
Upon receiving the report, Oloyede was arrested and was then confronted with the allegations in the presence of the suspect.
The Command said that a follow-up search was carried out at the constable’s privately rented accommodation located behind the Police Barracks in Odeda.
The search yielded several items, including iPhones and multiple SIM cards, which were seized as potential evidence.
Meanwhile, following his arrest, the command again, said that the criminal officer escaped from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit team while on enquiry at Odeda Township.
The statement partly reads: “The Police Constable Idris Oloyede, a.k.a Abuja, attached to Odeda Police Divisional headquarters who is under investigation by operatives of Anti-Kidnapping Unit of Ogun State for offences of conspiracy, robbery and stealing has escaped from the team while on enquiry at Odeda Township at about 2330hrs of May 21, 2025.
