ARMS SUPPLIER TO KWARA-KOGI SYNDICATE ARRESTED

A man suspected to be arms supplier to a notorious kidnapping network operating around the Kwara-Kogi axis has been apprehended by security operatives.

It was gathered that the suspect, identified as Buba Lawal, was arrested by local vigilante operatives while attempting to deliver ammunition to members of the kidnapping syndicate.

Lawal, a native of Okoloke Village in Egbe, Kogi State, was arrested in Oko, a community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

According to sources, Lawal was moving suspiciously when he was flagged down by the vigilante group on routine patrol. A swift search led to the discovery of an AK-47 magazine loaded with eight rounds of live ammunition, which had been carefully concealed on his body.

He was immediately handed over to the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Kwara State Police Command for further investigation.

Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the Kwara State Police Command, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, said that preliminary interrogation revealed Lawal was on a mission to deliver the ammunition to three suspected kidnappers identified as Shehu, Babi, and Ali, believed to be hiding in the dense forests along the Kwara-Kogi border.

According to Ejire-Adeyemi, the suspect confessed to working closely with the criminal gang, providing them with arms and logistical support that enabled several abductions and other criminal operations in the region.

In a related development, DAILY POST also reports that a wanted gang leader, simply identified as Tambaya, was arrested along with 15 other suspects during a recent joint security operation targeting criminal hideouts in the area.

Today, as we certify you as recognized motor parks, let it be a reminder of our collective duty to protect one another. Let us work together to ensure that everyone understands the importance of taking safety measures while plying our roads,” he said.

“Our roads are a source of livelihood, but they also pose risks that must be addressed.”

Sabi hailed Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his administration’s commitment to the protection of the lives of the citizens.

Ibrahim Orire; Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation, Alhaji Salau Kabiru Abdullahi; Technical Assistant to the Governor on Transport, Alhaji Musbau Abubakar; representative of the Commissioner of Police, DCP Ladi Suleiman; and representative of the State Commandant for Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), AC Salman Surajudeen.

Salau, for his part, said officials of the Ministry had inspected facilities in all garages in the city and were satisfied with what they found in the selected ones, adding it is a continuous exercise.

Director of Transport, Engr Micheal Bamidele, said 12 out of 49 existing private motor parks in the state met the regulatory requirements for recertification, adding that the process sought to achieve a safe and clean working environment.

STUDENTS’ UNION GOVERNMENT, KWARA STATE COLLEGE OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY, OFFA

We Favour Constructive Engagement, Reject Opportunist Politicisation of Issues

The Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the Kwara State College of Health Technology, Offa wishes to categorically distance itself from the viral publication titled “Offa Students Slam Kwara Governor Over False Hostel Construction Claims.”

The Union was not involved in the making of such a report. We therefore declare that we are unaware of the source and intention behind the said publication, and it does not reflect the official position of the students of this institution.

As published a few days ago concerning challenges in our hostel, we still assert that our hostels need renovations. However, as a responsible body committed to the welfare of our students, we believe in constructive engagement with school authorities and relevant government agencies to resolve any challenges facing our members. We are in constant communication with the school management regarding students’ concerns, and we maintain that official matters affecting students will be addressed through proper channels and not through politically motivated media campaigns.

We also wish to warn political actors and opposition elements against using the name of our institution or the plight of our students for political gain or propaganda. The welfare of students should not be politicized under any circumstances. Any official communication on matters concerning our students will be issued directly by the SUG leadership.

We urge the public to disregard the aforementioned report and remain assured of our continued efforts to pursue the interest of all students through dialogue, responsibility, and diplomacy.

Signed
Babatunde Olamilekan Matthew
SUG President
