Operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team ( IRT) have arrested a 38-year-old police traffic officer, Haruna Yusuf who sold arms to suspected cultists in Kwara
Six suspected members of the Aiye Confraternit who were responsible for violent criminal attacks in Omu Aran and neighbouring communities in Kwara State have also been arrested.
The police Sergeant, who until his arrest was serving at the Traffic Section of Omu Aran Divisional Police Station confirmed to have stolen the arms from a former Station Officer at the police station
The IRT operatives in Osun State were reportedly working to prevent an attack on the state by suspected cult members when one of the cult members was arrested.
His arrest led to the arrest of other members of his group and the eventual arrest of the serving policeman, who sold arms to them for operation.
If this case is confirm to be true, that a serving police officer stolen police arms and sold same to cultists. Then it seems or mean that death is so cheap in the country. Am a mechanized farmer with free hold of hectares of farmland in the south west of the country. But even, ever before the COVID-19 pandemic and eventual lock down. All farmers in my farm estate are unable to practice their profession due to fear of herders attack. I will suggest that responsible Citizens be granted fire arm license for self defense. This suggestions became imperative in view of senseless killing on going in the country.
