A combined team of operatives of the Kwara state police command and the Nigerian Army Forward Operation Base (FOB), Egbe, Kogi State, has arrested a notorious and suspected kidnapper, Mohammed Bello, aka Dandolo.
In a statement by the state command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, she said that the arrest was made possible following an actionable intelligence received from Egbe, Kogi state, indicating that the suspect had fled to Patigi, Kwara state, to evade arrest.
The statement also said that Mohammed Bello is suspected to have been involved in a series of kidnapping operations in Egbe, Isanlu, and surrounding areas in Kogi State.
“Upon receiving the information, the command immediately deployed a surveillance team to track the suspect’s movements,” she said.
The PPRO, who said that a thorough search of various locations was conducted, including hotels in Patigi, Kwara state, added that the suspect was, eventually, apprehended at an undisclosed location.
“This operation was carried out in collaboration with the Nigerian Army Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Egbe, Kogi State, led by Lieutenant Isah.
“The suspect has been transferred to the anti-kidnapping unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Ilorin for further investigation.
“Mohammed Bello has confessed to several kidnapping incidents along the Omu-aran-Ilofa-Osi-Eruku-Egbe road in Kwara state and also kidnapping incidents along the Lagos-Ibadan motorway.
“The CP, Victor Olaiya, assures the public that a discreet and thorough investigation will be conducted to ensure that justice is served. The command remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of all residents in Kwara State and its environs.
