Four suspected armed robbers have actually been detained by the Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

They are Abdullahi Audi, (30 ), Lawal Audi, (30) Bature Abdullahi (25) and Issa Muhammed.

A statement by the spokesman of the state Civil Defence Corps, Babawale Afolabi, who verified the arrest of the four suspects, declared that they come from a break-in gang terrorising and assaulting travelers and motorists along Isanlu Isin/Ijara Isin roadway in Isin Local Government Area of Kwara South Senatorial District.

He said operatives of” the defence corps in combination with the local vigilante group of Nigeria, VGN and regional hunters, responded promptly to a distress a hire the early hours of Monday 17/01/2022, around 0030hours when presumed armed burglars in their large numbers assailed vehicle drivers and travelers travelling inside a Toyota Sienna area car along Isanlu-Isin/Ijara-Isin road and dispossessed them of their belongings.

“The robbers had in fact disappeared into the neighboring bush by the time we came to the scene of the break-in event but with the aid of the vigilante group( VGN) and the regional hunters we had the ability to comb the neighboring bush and round up four Fulani/ Bororos guys believed to be members of the break-in gang while a manhunt has actually begun to nab other members of the gang” Babawale narrated.

The representative said profiling and background checks of the suspects have actually begun.

He advised people to prevent night travels as the majority of the criminal activities happen throughout the night hours.

“The Commandant Makinde Iskil Ayinla also appealed to drivers especially commercial chauffeurs to avoid night journeys and report any unusual motion or activities discovered in their area to the security agencies” he added.
