Police arrest 140 suspects over Ilorin fracas

Date: 2015-04-30

The Kwara State Police Command yesterday said it has arrested 140 suspects over last weekend's fracas in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

Three persons were reportedly killed in the fracas while property worth million of naira were destroyed.

The suspected mastermind of the fracas was said to have led his gang on a reprisal attack at the family compound of two operatives of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), who were on the team that raided marijuana smokers' den at Idi-Ape-Baruba area last Friday.

Police spokesperson, Ajayi Okasanmi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), told reporters yesterday that the command had arrested some suspects on the matter.

He said: "We are still mopping up the areas. We are still looking for the suspects. But we have made more arrests. The operation is still going on; it continues today.

"As at Sunday (this week), the command had arrested 80 suspects. I can tell you that we have arrested no fewer than 140 persons."

Okasanmi hinted that the command was getting closer to apprehending the suspected mastermind of the fracas.
