According to a news report from Business Day, the Commissioner of Police for Imo State Command, Aboki Danjuma, has announced the arrest of over 125 suspects for various offences following weeks of raids on criminal hideouts across the state.

Commissioner Danjuma detailed that the suspects were involved in crimes such as kidnapping, armed robbery, child trafficking, murder, and the unlawful possession of firearms and hard drugs. He reported the recovery of seven firearms, two vehicles, 500kg of a substance suspected to be Indian hemp, Biafra currency notes, and other exhibits. Additionally, eight pregnant teenagers were rescued.

The Commissioner credited the operational success to intelligence-led operations, continuous raids on suspected criminal hideouts, actionable information from well-meaning residents, and collaboration with other security agencies in Imo State.

In a related development, the Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has apprehended three suspects for various crimes, including theft, burglary, and fraud. Ayoola Shola, the Public Relations Officer for the NSCDC in Kwara State, stated that on Monday, 1st July 2024, detectives from the Command's tracking unit arrested Ibrahim Wasiu, a 31-year-old resident of Eyenkorin, Kwara State.

“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.

“Upon his arrest, wires and tools that he used for his operations were recovered from him.

“Additionally, On June 28, 2024, Ganiyu Yusuf Olalekan, 'M' 38yrs, was arrested for defrauding Ibrahim Mustapha of 4.5 million naira. The suspect, who falsely portrayed himself as a senior staff of the Ministry of Finance and also claimed to be a politician, deceived Mustapha by promising him three Hajj slots in exchange for the payment.

“Upon investigation, it was discovered that the suspect is a scammer who deceives unsuspecting members of the public for financial gain.”

All the suspects, according to the Command, have confessed to the crime and will be prosecuted in a Court of competent jurisdiction once the investigation is completed.
