Date: 2025-05-16

The Kwara State Police Command has arrested 16 suspected armed robbers and kidnappers in a crackdown led by Police Commissioner Adekimi Ojo. Speaking to newsmen, Ojo stated: "We are waging war against these criminals, particularly kidnappers and armed robbers. I have inspected high-crime areas where criminal elements frequently operate."

He explained that tactical teams were redeployed, leading to the arrests, and that ongoing raids of criminal hideouts have forced some suspects to flee the state. The commissioner confirmed that charges have been filed against some suspects, while others remain under investigation.

Ojo reiterated that Kwara State is now safe and peaceful, crediting the joint operation with the Nigerian Army and other sister security agencies. He added that 10 of the arrested suspects were specifically targeting the Offa axis.

"Police Tactical Team arrested some suspected cult members of Eiye Confraternity involved in armed robbery and cult clashes. SCID detectives arrested some suspects for murder and rape. They have been charged to court.

"Our officers are on constant patrol. We remain resolute in our mission to protect lives and properties; and maintain law and order in the state. We urged citizens to report suspicious activities and furnish police with useful information to enable us flush hoodlums out of the state."
