NSCDC Kwara Command Apprehends Suspects Involved in Theft and Burglary
According to a news report from The Nation, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Kwara Command announced on Tuesday the apprehension of three suspects allegedly involved in various criminal activities, including theft, burglary, and fraud.
Mr Ayoola Shola, the command's Public Relations Officer (PRO), stated that detectives from the tracking unit arrested one Ibrahim Wasiu, 31, from the Eyenkorin Area of Ilorin.
Shola said the arrest followed a report from Mumini Kabir, who had experienced several burglaries at his residence.
The complainant reported that valuables, such as a motorcycle, two Android phones, a home theatre system, and other household goods, had been stolen from his home.
Following a thorough investigation, the suspect was apprehended and all the stolen items were successfully recovered.
Also, on June 30, acting on a tip-off, the command's tracking unit apprehended one Soliu Jimoh, 33.
He was arrested for alleged theft of electrical cables and fittings from a building under construction in Gaa Ajanaku Area of Ilorin.
The PRO said that upon the suspect's arrest, wires and tools he used for his operations were recovered from him.
“Also, on June 28, one Ganiyu Yusuf Olalekan, 38, was arrested for allegedly defrauding one Mr. Ibrahim Mustapha of N4.5 million,” he said.
Shola said Olalekan falsely portrayed himself as a senior staff of the Ministry of Finance and claimed to be a politician, promising Mustapha three Hajj slots in exchange for the payment.
“Upon investigation, it was discovered that the suspect is a scammer, who deceived unsuspecting members of the public for financial gain,” he said.
The PRO said all the suspects confessed to the crime and would be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction once investigations were completed.
The State Commandant, Umar Mohammed, on his part assured the public that the corps will not rest in its quest to combat criminal activities in the state.
Mohammed issued a stern warning to criminals to vacate the state, emphasising the corps' commitment to ensure a safe environment for law-abiding citizens and making it unsuitable for criminals.
