Kwara State Police Apprehend Suspected Armed Robbers Targeting KWASU Students.

The Kwara State Police Command has successfully apprehended a group of individuals suspected of armed robbery, who have been targeting students residing in and around Malete, the location of the state university. Commissioner of Police Adekimi Ojo announced the arrests at a press conference on Friday, underscoring the Command’s commitment to reducing crime within the state.

The initial arrest of Adamu Nuhu occurred during a joint security patrol in Malete. Nuhu was found in possession of numerous digital devices and related items believed to have been forcibly taken from students. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of two additional suspects, Dauda Amuda and Dare Alabi, who are believed to have collaborated with the primary suspect or served as receivers of stolen goods.

Nuhu confessed to participating in multiple coordinated robberies targeting three student residences, during which he and two accomplices allegedly used cutlasses to rob approximately fifteen students of their mobile phones and other valuables. The arrested individuals have been formally charged and remanded in custody. Law enforcement is actively pursuing the two remaining suspects who are currently at large. Commissioner Ojo issued a stern warning to criminals, asserting the Police Command’s unwavering dedication to eradicating criminal elements from Kwara State through strategic and intelligence-driven operations.
