He reported the recovery of seven firearms, two vehicles, 500kg of a substance suspected to be Indian hemp, Biafra currency notes, and other exhibits.

“The arrest followed a report by Mumini Kabir regarding several burglaries at his residence, where valuable items including a motorcycle, two Android phones, a home theater system, and other household goods were stolen.

“After thorough investigations, the suspect was apprehended, and all the stolen items were successfully recovered.

“Similarly, in a related development on the 30th of June, 2024, acting on a tip-off, the command's tracking unit apprehended Soliu Jimoh, a 33-year-old male, for habitually theft of electrical cables and fittings from buildings under construction in Gaa Ajanaki area in Ilorin.
