The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kwara State Command, has recorded another significant operational breakthrough with the arrest of two suspects over alleged burglary, unlawful possession of firearms, and suspected cult-related activities within Ilorin metropolis.
The arrests followed intelligence-led investigations initiated after the Command received separate reports of burglary and housebreaking incidents in parts of Ilorin, during which mobile phones, laptops, electronic appliances, and other valuable items were stolen.
Acting on credible and actionable intelligence, operatives of the Command’s Tracking Unit tracked and arrested one of the suspects, Ajiboye Adedamola Oluwatobi, popularly known as “Kush-T,” at a suspected criminal hideout in Danialu area of Gaa-Akanbi, Ilorin.
Further intelligence-driven operations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Dayo Sesan, also known as “Sexy.” During the operation, officers recovered two locally fabricated firearms and one live cartridge from his possession.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects are allegedly linked to a criminal syndicate suspected of perpetrating burglary and related criminal activities within the Tanke, Pipeline, and Gaa-Akanbi areas of Ilorin.
The suspects also identified themselves as members of the Aiye Confraternity. Investigations are ongoing to establish the full extent of their criminal activities, identify other members of the syndicate, and ensure that all those connected with the criminal enterprise are brought to justice.
The following exhibits were recovered during the operation:
* Two locally fabricated firearms.
* One live cartridge.
The suspects will be charged before a court of competent jurisdiction upon the conclusion of investigations.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kwara State Command, under the leadership of Commandant Abbas Nda Mohammed, remains unwavering in its commitment to safeguarding lives and property through intelligence-led operations, proactive crime prevention strategies, and sustained collaboration with sister security agencies and members of the public.
The Command therefore urges residents of Kwara State to continue providing timely, credible, and actionable information that will further strengthen ongoing efforts to combat crime and enhance public safety across the State.
