Operatives of the Kwara State Police Command, on Saturday, recovered arms, ammunition and a sum of $255,000 from fleeing suspects at a checkpoint along the Bode-Saadu expressway in the Moro Local Government Area of the state on New Year’s Eve.

Two AK-47 rifles, 70 empty magazines, 50 rounds of AK-47 live ammunition, three Tecno handsets, 11 telephone handset batteries, criminal charms, clothes and the money were found in a bag tied to the motorcycle they were riding when police operatives stopped them at the checkpoint on the expressway.

According to the spokesman of the command, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, in a statement in Ilorin on Sunday said, the incident happened on December 31, 2022, at about 2300hours at the Bode-Saadu checkpoint manned by a detachment of police operatives as part of the strategy to ensure the safety of citizens for the festivities for the year.

Okasanmi said, “one of the major results of the strategy was recorded on December 31, 2022, at about 2300 hrs, along the Bode Sadu axis of Moro LGA, when a detachment of policemen detailed to monitor the axis sighted and flagged down a Bajaj motorcycle operator for a routine check.”

The spokesman said efforts to arrest the fleeing suspect, strongly believed to be one of the kidnappers operating around the border towns of Ekiti, Kogi, and Kwara states, are ongoing.

The Commissioner of Police, Kwara State, has promised to exert the necessary pressure to see that the fleeing suspects and their gang members are arrested.

He solicited the support of members of the public to always give police information and report all strange activities around them to the public while further assuring the citizens of the determination of the command to uphold the status of Kwara State as a state of harmony.

The police Commissioner wished the people of Kwara State a happy and more secure new year.

.Hmmm . . .

Police declared less than half of what they actually recovered. And those escapees will be finished off if eventually caught, inorder to ensure they don't spill the beans.

This is ridiculous and spells the end of Nigeria. Fleeing terrorists with $255,000 in cash!? How much more are the Boko Harams and the ESNs worth? $5m!? How did they manage to access such funds? Where did they get it from? Who are they dealing with? How many criminal elements are embedded in the so-called Bureau de Change that are sometimes financed by the banks and the CBN?

This is disaster! Nigeria to end pretty soon.

If only Peter obi, an old man of 62 years of age, will come clean and declare publicly why he took a whopping $500m dollars from Nigeria and hid it under his daughter's name in secret offshore account, as exposed by Pandora papers. The hypocrite is a thief, ole, barawo and onye oshi combined.
