The police also paraded Adeniyi Sijibomi, 18 and John Onucho, 25, as some of the suspects behind last weekend's clashes in Ilorin.

He said: "On August 18, in a bid to arrest the perpetrators of last weekend's cult clashes in Ilorin, which led to the killing of two young men, the command, in addition to the suspects earlier arrested, nabbed Adeniyi Sijibomi, 18, and John Onucho, 25."

kasanmi said two locally- made pistols, two live cartridges and one expended cartridge were recovered from the suspects, who, according to him, "are members of the Eiye confraternity."

The police also paraded three suspected car snatchers, Kehinde Olumo, Alhaji Oba Suleiman and Olayinka Jimoh, who allegedly conspired to steal and buy stolen cars.

Okasanmi said: "Through the efforts of the men of the command's Intelligence and Investigation Department, members of inter-state vehicle thieves, especially from Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states, were arrested in Ilorin on August 17 by the anti-car theft division of the command. Investigation showed that the suspects are car snatchers."

He added that the suspects led the team to recover five posh cars from different locations, including Mazda 626 car registered as MUS C95 DC and Rav 4 Toyota Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) with number plate ARP 123 MY.
