VCRU CRACKS CULT-RELATED ABDUCTION AND MURDER CASE, THREE SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY.

A thorough and painstaking investigation conducted by operatives of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU), Kwara State Police Command, has unravelled the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of a student of Kwara State Polytechnic, culminating in the arrest of three suspected members of the notorious Eiye Confraternity for their alleged involvement in the abduction and subsequent murder of the victim.

Acting on credible intelligence and sustained investigation, VCRU operatives on Monday, 29th June, 2026, conducted coordinated tactical operations on identified cult hideouts within Ilorin metropolis, leading to the arrest of
Adeoye Babatunde Alimi (23), alias "Solar";
Bernard Kayode (25), alias "KK"; and Owoyemi Bashiru (27), alias "GDP."
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects are members of a violent cult group allegedly responsible for the abduction of Sodiq Durodola Olaniyi (29), an indigene of Oyo State who had been missing since 4th June, 2026.

During interrogation, the suspects confessed to their respective roles in the crime and disclosed that the victim was executed by members of the cult group after his abduction. Investigation further revealed that the criminal gang comprises twelve members, with nine other suspects currently at large. Tactical efforts have since been intensified to apprehend other fleeing members of the gang, dismantling of the criminal network and recover the corpse of the victim.

The suspects presently in custody are also assisting investigators with useful information regarding other violent crimes allegedly perpetrated by the group within Ilorin metropolis. Investigation is ongoing, and all persons found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the law upon the conclusion of investigations.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kwara State Command, has recorded another significant operational breakthrough with the arrest of two suspects over alleged burglary, unlawful possession of firearms, and suspected cult-related activities within Ilorin metropolis.

The arrests followed intelligence-led investigations initiated after the Command received separate reports of burglary and housebreaking incidents in parts of Ilorin, during which mobile phones, laptops, electronic appliances, and other valuable items were stolen.

Acting on credible and actionable intelligence, operatives of the Command’s Tracking Unit tracked and arrested one of the suspects, Ajiboye Adedamola Oluwatobi, popularly known as “Kush-T,” at a suspected criminal hideout in Danialu area of Gaa-Akanbi, Ilorin.

Further intelligence-driven operations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Dayo Sesan, also known as “Sexy.” During the operation, officers recovered two locally fabricated firearms and one live cartridge from his possession.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects are allegedly linked to a criminal syndicate suspected of perpetrating burglary and related criminal activities within the Tanke, Pipeline, and Gaa-Akanbi areas of Ilorin.

The suspects also identified themselves as members of the Aiye Confraternity. Investigations are ongoing to establish the full extent of their criminal activities, identify other members of the syndicate, and ensure that all those connected with the criminal enterprise are brought to justice.

The following exhibits were recovered during the operation:

* Two locally fabricated firearms.
* One live cartridge.

The suspects will be charged before a court of competent jurisdiction upon the conclusion of investigations.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kwara State Command, under the leadership of Commandant Abbas Nda Mohammed, remains unwavering in its commitment to safeguarding lives and property through intelligence-led operations, proactive crime prevention strategies, and sustained collaboration with sister security agencies and members of the public.

The Command therefore urges residents of Kwara State to continue providing timely, credible, and actionable information that will further strengthen ongoing efforts to combat crime and enhance public safety across the State.

KWARA POLICE DISMANTLE KIDNAPPING NETWORK, ARREST SEVEN SUSPECTS, RECOVER ASSAULT RIFLE AND OTHER FIREARMS.

In a major breakthrough against kidnapping, the Kwara State Police Command has arrested seven suspected members of a kidnapping syndicate and recovered firearms during a series of intelligence-led operations conducted across parts of the State.

On 28th May 2026, operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, acting on credible intelligence regarding the abduction of a resident within the Agbeyangi axis of Ilorin, launched a coordinated intelligence-led operation aimed at rescuing victims and dismantling the criminal network responsible for a series of kidnapping incidents across the State.

Through investigation and strategic deployment of operational assets, the operatives arrested one Surajo Abubakar, whose involvement in the crime provided critical intelligence that significantly advanced the investigation.

Further exploitation of the intelligence gathered led to the arrest of Umar Yabani alias "Yabo," identified as the leader of the syndicate,Isah A. Sule and Umar Sani.
During the operation, one AK-47 rifle and one pump-action gun were recovered from the suspects. Preliminary investigations linked the suspects to several kidnapping incidents across Ilorin East, Edu, Ifelodun, and neighbouring communities within Kwara State.

Following the arrests, investigators intensified efforts to dismantle the remaining elements of the criminal network. Subsequent intelligence obtained from the suspects led operatives to identified locations and associates connected to the syndicate.

Consequently, on 4th June 2026, the Command carried out a follow-up intelligence-led operation in collaboration with members of the Forest Guard and Local Vigilante Groups across strategic locations within Edu and Ifelodun Local Government Areas.

The operation resulted in the arrest of three additional suspected members of the syndicate identified as Bello Alhaji Maidabo (25), Shehu Malami (23), and Riskuwa Babuga (18), who were apprehended in the forest near Tsaragi following coordinated surveillance and tactical operations.

A locally fabricated single-barrel firearm loaded with two live cartridges was recovered during the operation.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the newly arrested suspects played various roles within the criminal network and are assisting investigators with valuable information aimed at rescuing victims believed to still be in captivity and apprehend other fleeing members of the gang.

The Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command, CP Ojo Adekimi, psc, mnips, stated that the breakthrough reflects the operational directives and strategic vision of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, PSC(+), NPM, towards strengthening intelligence-led policing, dismantling criminal networks, and enhancing public safety nationwide.

The Commissioner of Police, further reassured residents of the Command's unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property and urged members of the public to continue supporting security agencies with timely and actionable information.

Woro: We're working with security agencies, stakeholders on terrorists’ video, says Kwara Govt

The Kwara State Government is deeply concerned over the disturbing video released by terrorists earlier today, allegedly showing some persons taken during the tragic February 3 attack on Woro community. As always, our thoughts are with all the families affected, and we reaffirm our commitment to securing the safe return of all those impacted.

We acknowledge the anxiety that this footage may cause. Government officials and security agencies are carefully analysing the video to establish the identities of the individuals shown.

Since the incident, there have been varying accounts regarding the number of persons abducted. For this reason, neither the State Government nor security agencies have announced a definitive figure. Our priority remains the safe rescue of every affected citizen and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice.

We have engaged Woro community leaders to assist in identifying individuals seen in the footage. As of now, a few persons have been preliminarily identified from the video as residents of Woro. Community representatives have also indicated that more individuals remain unaccounted for. It is important to note that some persons initially reported missing have since reunited with their families, while others may have temporarily relocated to neighbouring communities, including Wawa and New Bussa in Niger State.

The Government’s response committee, led by His Highness Ahmed Ibn Muhammed, continues to work with security agencies, local authorities, and community stakeholders to coordinate efforts, humanitarian support, and the safe return of displaced persons.

We assure the public that verified updates will be provided as more information becomes available through proper coordination with security and community leaders. We urge residents to remain calm, avoid spreading unverified information, and continue cooperating with authorities.

FG Approves Three Policies To Reshape Civil Service: Incentives, Rewards, Mentorship

To reshape the Federal Civil Service, the Federal Government has approved three transformative policies: the Rewards and Recognition Policy, the Incentive and Consequence Management Policy, and the Civil Service Mentoring Policy — all aimed at boosting productivity and enhancing service delivery.

In a statement by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Eno Olotu, the strategic approval was granted during a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The move heralds a new era of performance-driven governance, strategic talent development, and enhanced accountability ,designed to motivate staff, instill a culture of excellence, and significantly improve service delivery to Nigerians.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack, affirmed that these policies are pivotal to Staff Welfare and Enhanced Value Proposition — one of the six pillars of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021–2025 (FCSSIP25) — and are aligned with the 2021 Public Service Rules (060101–060111).

While commending the President for his unwavering commitment to transforming the Civil Service and fostering a workplace culture that is Efficient, Productive, Incorruptible, and Citizen-Centric (EPIC), the Head of Service stated that the approval is a clear demonstration of government’s commitment to valuing public servants, rewarding excellence, and cultivating the next generation of leaders.

The Rewards and Recognition Policy provides a comprehensive framework for boosting productivity by attracting, nurturing, and retaining the best talent in the service. It promotes a culture of excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement, thereby elevating overall institutional performance.

The Incentive and Consequence Management Policy introduces a transparent and equitable system in which high performance is duly rewarded, while underperformance is addressed through structured and fair consequences. It ensures accountability at all levels while providing support for officers who require improvement.

The Civil Service Mentoring Policy represents a strategic investment in future leadership. It aims to bridge experience gaps, facilitate knowledge transfer, and equip upcoming officers with the skills, values, and ethical grounding required for effective leadership. The policy also safeguards institutional memory amid retirements, ensuring continuity and sustained excellence.

Didi Esther Walson-Jack reiterated that the presidential approval for these policies is not merely an administrative milestone but the foundation upon which a modern, agile, and empowered Civil Service will be built. She assured civil servants that their dedication will be recognized, excellence rewarded, and career growth supported.
