The Police Command in Osun State on the 10th of July arrested two suspects who were in possession of a car stolen at gunpoint in the State.

The police spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, made this known while addressing newsmen on Tuesday 11th of July, 2023.

Opalola said officers of the command arrested the two suspects in Ilorin, Kwara State, in possession of a car stolen at gunpoint from a complainant’s residence in Osun State.

She said that the victim on May 11, reported that he was attacked by three men, armed with guns and other dangerous weapons at his residence.

The hoodlums dispossessed him of his valuables and two Toyota Camry cars valued over N12.46 million.

Opalola said intelligence gathering thereafter led detectives of the command to Ilorin where one Abdulwasiu Jato and Kolawole Iwalaye were arrested in possession of one of the stolen cars.

She said that another suspected stolen car, a Toyota Corolla 2012 model, was found in their possession.

Opalola said six other armed robbery suspects terrorising motorists at Aba-Ede Junction on Osu-Ile-Ife highway, were also arrested on July 9, by the command’s anti-kidnapping squad.

The command spokesperson said all the suspects would be charged to court after completion of investigation.
