Security Alert: Three Truckloads Of Relief Rice Stolen In Kwara, Perpetrators At Large....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Suspected hoodlums are believed to have seized three truckloads of relief rice in the Oja-Oba/Idi-Ape/Isale-Oja regions of Ilorin West and Ilorin East local government areas in Kwara State.

The Toyota Dana trucks, laden with 10kg bags of rice, were en route to an undisclosed location when they were assaulted and commandeered by the suspected hoodlums around 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

Eyewitnesses reported that the incident occurred just a short distance from the ‘C’ division police station, although police personnel arrived at the scene only after the event had transpired.

Traders and market women disclosed that the attackers emptied the three trucks loaded with rice bags, leading to a chaotic scene as individuals scrambled to acquire a share of the bags thrown at them by the hoodlums.

A senior police officer, speaking anonymously, informed the platform that law enforcement operatives were subsequently dispatched to several areas to apprehend the culprits. However, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Kwara Police Command, Okasanmi Ajayi, claimed to be unaware of the incident when contacted for confirmation, but he promised to provide further information. As of the time of this report, he had not responded.
