ONE of the four suspected killers of the daughter of Afenifere leader, Funke Olakunri, who is being treated for COVID-19 at the Ondo Infectious Disease Centre, Adamu Adamu, yesterday, attempted to escape.
But for the security personnel stationed at the isolation centre, the suspect would have jumped the fence.
The Police Commissioner, Mr. Undie Adie, has directed that the suspect be chained to the bed while security has been beefed up around the centre.
Vanguard was informed by doctors at the centre that the suspect made several attempts by deploying various tactics to escape.
The Police source, who said that Adamu was used to spending long hours in the toilet each time he took permission to use the toilet, said: “His movement and that of others receiving treatment at the center is now closely monitored.”
Security beefed up at isolation centre
When contacted, spokesperson of the Police Command, Mr. Tee-Leo Ikoro, said that security has been beefed up at the hospital.
