Kwara Police Refute Claims of Unlawful Detention of Minor in Arandun Community
The Kwara State Police Command has refuted claims in a video currently circulating on social media, alleging unlawful detention of a minor in Arandun community, Irepodun Local Government Area of the state.
Describing the video as misleading in a statement e-signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, the command stated that, "On 30th April 2026, at about 1600 hours, a case of housebreaking and theft was reported at the Arandun Police Division. The prime suspect, Timothy Aransiola (male, 19 years), who had been on the division's watchlist, absconded following the report.
"Subsequent intelligence revealed that the suspect was being harboured and assisted to evade by one Esther Aransiola, 16, a sister of the suspect. She was taken into custody on Friday 01/05/26 for aiding and abetting a suspect with the intent to obstruct lawful arrest.
"She was duly cautioned, and her statement was taken in line with established procedures, and released to her guardian on bond.
"The command emphasises that the suspect was not detained unlawfully, as falsely portrayed in the circulating video. The narrative being spread is therefore inaccurate and intended to misinform the public.
"Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspect, Timothy Aransiola, and bring him to justice."
