The circumstances surrounding their arrest were clarified by the Zonal Public Relations Officer, SP Umma Ayuba. Acting on information from other residents, police officers at Ifo Division set up a roadblock and successfully apprehended the suspects, excluding ASP Ajayi Victor, the alleged ringleader, who is currently evading arrest and remains at large.
