Two suspects, Olarewaju Jimoh and Rotimi Bolade have been arrested for allegedly being in possession of pump action gun.

The suspects were arrested by operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) at their hideout, No 28 Alangua Street, Gaa-Akanbi, Ilorin, penultimate week.

According to a police source, "The command received information penultimate Wednesday that some suspected armed robbers converged on Alangua Street in Gaa-Akanbi area.

"On the strength of the information, a team of operatives from F-SARS swung into action and invaded the area.

"In the process, Olanrewaju Jimoh and Rotimi Bolade were nabbed while the suspected kingpin of the gang, Kayode Salawudeen, escaped arrest and currently at large.
