A Former President, Ibadan College of the Alumni Association, worldwide and erstwhile Chairman of the Board of Directors, University of Ibadan Ventures Limited, Dr Abib Olamitoye and some of his staffers have regained their freedom from the police custody, barely six days after they were detained over alleged attack on course of a 91-year-old woman.
The medical expert and his workers had been in the police custody since the alleged attack on the corpse of a 91year-old woman who died in the hospital recently.
