 <\/p>\n

The Kwara State Police Command has arrested four suspected armed robbers following a coordinated operation in response to a robbery incident in the Tanke area of Ilorin.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Wednesday, June 19, 2025, the command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the arrests and provided details of the operation.<\/p>\n

The suspects reportedly broke into the residence of one Abdulrazak Dotunji at Oke Odo, Tanke, during the early hours of the day.<\/p>\n

Prompt distress calls from residents led officers from the Tanke Divisional Police Headquarters to the scene, where three suspects were arrested.<\/p>\n

A fourth suspect was apprehended later that day during a stop-and-search operation along the Sanrab Junction-University of Ilorin road.<\/p>\n

Police said he was identified through preliminary interrogation and is believed to have fled the scene during the initial raid.<\/p>\n

The arrested suspects have been identified as Danjuma Abubakar, Alkassim Abubakar, Mohammed Ibrahim, and Mohammed Awal.<\/p>\n

All are currently in custody at the Kwara State Police Command headquarters, where investigations are ongoing to determine their involvement in other robberies.<\/p>\n

Recovered items include a Bajaj motorcycle allegedly used during the robbery, a knife, two industrial oxygen cylinders, and other suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n

SP Ejire-Adeyemi assured the public of the command\u2019s commitment to pursuing all leads and bringing every accomplice to justice.<\/p>\n

She commended residents for their vigilance and timely alerts, which contributed significantly to the successful operation.<\/p>\n

This development comes amid a broader police crackdown on rising criminal activity in Ilorin, particularly burglary and street robbery.<\/p>\n

Community leaders praised the swift police response, describing it as proactive and confidence-boosting.<\/p>\n

The police command urged members of the public to continue supporting security efforts by promptly reporting suspicious movements or individuals to the nearest police station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
