Three suspects have been arrested over alleged armed robbery in Kwara State.
The suspects, John Ndubusi Nbakogu, Toheeb Suleiman, and Bolakale Quadir, aka Adaka, allegedly attacked a resident around 6:30 am on March 2 while he was attending to his traps.
Speaking on the incident on Wednesday, spokeswoman for the state police command, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi (DSP), said the victim’s identity is withheld for security reasons. “On the day of the incident, a distress call was received detailing an armed robbery incident involving the forceful dispossession of a citizen’s property.
“During the ordeal, the victim was robbed of his Infinix Note 11 handset, valued at N150,000. However, the first suspect was apprehended shortly after the incident and subsequent investigation led to the identification and arrest of two other suspects,” he said.
Toun said a cut to size single barrel gun, believed to have been used during the operation, was recovered from one of the suspects.
She urged the public to continue to provide timely and relevant information to assist in the prevention and detection of crime, adding that the CP, Victor Olaiya, is determined to rid the state of criminal elements.
