The Ondo State Police Command on Monday arrested Deji Adenuga, the man who allegedly killed eight family members after setting ablaze their house at Igbodigo, in the Okitipupa area.

His arrest came a week after the suspect escaped after allegedly committing the crime.

Five members of the family died on the spot, while the remaining three members gave up the ghost at a hospital they were taken to for treatment.
A source said the suspect, an ex-convict, was arrested in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, and had been handed over to the Ondo State Police Command.
