A routine intelligence-led stop-and-search operation by operatives of the Oyo State Police Command has resulted in the arrest of a suspected armed robber and the recovery of a tricycle allegedly stolen at gunpoint in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The operation followed credible intelligence received from public-spirited members of the community that a suspected stolen tricycle was being driven along the Oyo–Ogbomoso Road. Acting swiftly on the information, operatives of the Command Monitoring Unit mounted an intelligence-led stop-and-search operation at Irepo Area, where they successfully intercepted the tricycle, bearing registration number Lagos EPE 236 QR, and arrested the rider, Akindele Seun, a 31-year-old male.
Ayanlade Oluseyi Olayinka, Deputy Superintendent of Police and Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Oyo State Police Command, in a statement, said that upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to having robbed the owner of the tricycle at gunpoint in Ilorin, Kwara State, before fleeing with the vehicle into Oyo State.
