Police arrest suspected burglars of Saraki’s residence

Men of Kwara State Police Command
have arrested four men in connection with the
alleged theft of huge sum of money from the
Ilorin residence of the Senate President, Dr
Bukola Saraki.

Before the commencement of Ramadan fast,
there were reports of theft of the money, said to
be meant for Ramadan welfare for supporters of
the Senate President in the state.

Smart360news gathered yesterday however that the
four men were being interrogated in the office
of the State Intelligence and Investigation
Bureau, SIIB, along Ahmadu Bello way, Ilorin.

The suspects according to Vanguard checks
included two police officers, one officer of the
NSDC and a driver.

Further checks revealed that the suspects were
arrested with the aid of the Circuit Camera
Television, CCT, installed in the expansive Ilorin
home of the senate president which literally
showed how the suspects scooped the said
money.

According to the source, “when the camera was
reactivated, it showed faces of the suspects and
how they scooped the money. It was as if they
forgot there was CCT because they are supposed
to know as officers. But, I think by and large, It is
a case of everyday for the thief, one day is for
the owner.”

Smart360news also gathered that the police are
already preparing papers to take the suspects to
court for prosecution any moment from now.

Contacted, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO, Ajayi Okasanmi told Smart360news that
he had not been officially briefed of the arrest
and interrogation of the suspects, saying ‘’I have
not been officially briefed of the incident.”
