12 Suspects Arrested over Ilorin Crisis
The Kwara state police command has confirmed the arrest of 12 suspected hoodlums behind a week of continuous fighting among youths within the Kwara state capital which resulted in the damage of cars and property.
It could be recalled that some youths from Gambari, Baboko, Agaka areas in Ilorin metropolis had engaged themselves with dangerous weapons while economic activities were also paralysed.
The state government at the weekend, ordered the security agencies to arrest and prosecute whomever may be behind the public disturbances.
Speaking with our reporter in his office yesterday, the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, DSP Olufemi Fabode, disclosed that 12 suspected youth have been arrested in connection with the public disturbances.
Fabode who described the crisis as a form of faceoff between street groups of youth, said instead of one group to report a case to the police, they took laws into their hands.
"That is why the Commissioner of Police wants all the suspects to be charge to court for causing public disturbance".
