The Police Command, Ekiti State has arrested five suspects and marijuana dealers and seized firearms and ammunition. In a statement, the spokesperson of the police command, Mr Sunday Abutu said that the Command’s Rapid Response Squad, RRS, in collaboration with the State Amotekun personnel, during a stop-and-search along Uso road, Ise-Ekiti, arrested one Monday Reuben who was in possession of one locally made pistol and two live cartridges.

He explained that the suspect confessed during interrogation that he was a marijuana dealer. He had been growing weed in the woods of the Ise-Ekiti forest.

Abutu said the suspect named his four other criminals as allies. He also took a police team to their hideout in the woods of Ise-Ekiti forest. This is where Thank God Samuel, Ogenetega Lucky Friday, Wisdom David and Samuel Imeh were arrested.

He said the arrested suspects would be put on trial at the end of the investigation. He further cited the command’s commitment to crack down on the activities of criminal elements in the state. Essentially largely due to the heavy use of drugs and other illegal substances.

He likewise urged residents to always provide useful information to help police arrest criminal suspects in the state.

Items recovered from them are a locally manufactured single-barreled gun, 4 bullets, and a large number of seeds and weeds, believed to be Indian hemp.
