A known gunrunner who supplies weapons to criminals in Osun, Kogi, Edo, and Kwara is apprehended by Ondo police.

 


Operatives of the Ondo State Police Command have arrested a notorious gunrunner and local arms fabricator, alleged to be a major supplier of firearms to criminal gangs operating across Ondo, Osun, Kogi, Edo, and Kwara states.

The suspect was apprehended alongside three others who had long been on the police wanted list.

The spokesperson of the command, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, who confirmed the development in a statement on Thursday, September 25, 2025, described the arrest as a significant breakthrough in the fight against violent crime in the region.

He explained that the suspect’s network extended beyond Ondo, fueling armed robbery and violent crimes across state lines.

Four suspects linked to the case have already been arraigned on charges of armed robbery and attempted murder, while efforts are ongoing to track down other fleeing members of the syndicate.

Swift police action led to arrests in Irele and Ore, culminating in the capture of the gunrunner.

Messi's Bodyguard Banned From Touchline During Inter Miami Games

 Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been banned from protecting the Argentine forward in the touchline during Inter Miami matches.
