Three Suspects Invited Over Fire Incident At Traditional Worshipper's Residence
The Kwara State Police Command has launched an investigation into a suspected arson attack in the Isale Koko area of Ilorin. This information was detailed in a statement released on Saturday in Ilorin by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi.
Ms Ejire-Adeyemi confirmed that no lives were lost during the incident, as the building was unoccupied when the fire occurred. She further noted that the total value of the destroyed property has not yet been established.
According to the command's spokesperson, the matter was reported on 2 January at approximately 10:00 p.m. at the C Division Police Station in Oja Oba, Ilorin.
"The complainant, Mrs T. A. Olorisha, alleged that her house was set ablaze by unknown persons on 1st Jan., 2026, at about 7:00 p.m., while she was away from home. Mrs Olorisha further alleged that she had received threats in November 2025 from some individuals over religious differences, as she is a traditional worshipper," Ms Ejire-Adeyemi stated.
She added that the victim has provided the police with helpful information, which has led to the invitation of three suspects for questioning.
Ms Ejire-Adeyemi said that the three suspects have been detained and are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
"The command assures members of the public that efforts are ongoing to apprehend other suspected perpetrators, while all allegations are being diligently investigated.
"The Kwara State Police Command reiterated its commitment to protecting lives, property, and the fundamental rights of all residents, regardless of religious or cultural beliefs.
"Members of the public are urged to remain calm and provide any useful information that may aid the investigation," she said.
