Three suspects are now in police net in Kwara State for
alleged criminal conspiracy and armed robbery.
They are Mohammed Bello, Abubakar Mohammed and Mohammed
Bello.
According to a report by the spokesman of the Kwara State
Police command, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, in Ilorin on Thursday, the suspects
allegedly invaded the house of one Mohammed Usman at Oorsha Fulani Camp in
Ilorin, at about 0030hours on 30 June 2022.
According to him, the four armed men inflicted several
machete cuts on the heads and bodies of Mohammed Usman and his wife in a bid to
rob them of N800,000, being proceeds of cows sold earlier in the day.
A neighbour of the couple, one Abubakar Mohammed, allegedly
leaked the information about the money to the armed men which prompted the
deadly attack on the couple.
According to the police spokesman, the armed men carted away
the money and disappeared into the bush after the vicious attack.
Okasanmi said, “however, discreet investigation into the
matter ernerstly commenced as directed by the State Police Commissioner,
Tuesday Assayomo, with a matching order that the criminals be smoked out and
made to face justice.
“The investigation yielded positive results, as the
Command’s Tactical teams, in conjunction with vigilante and local hunters
started a relentless combing of the bushes, in the cause of which three
suspects, Mohammed Bello ‘m’, Mohamed Bello ‘m’ and Abubakar Mohammed ‘m” were
arrested.
“During interrogation, the suspects confessed to the crime
and took the investigators to their armory wherein, one Ak-47 rifle, one
cut-to- size locally made pistol and one mask were recovered,” Okasanmi disclosed.
He said efforts were still in progress towards arresting the
leader of the gang who is still at large.
“The suspects would be charged to court at the conclusion of
the investigations,” he added.
