The commissioner of police in Kwara State, Cp Paul Odama psc (+), has paid an unscheduled visit to the INEC State headquarters in Ilorin.

He explained that the visit was in a bid to ensure that the security arrangements in and around INEC facilities in Kwara State, particularly the headquarters in Ilorin, are watertight.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state command, SP Okasanmi Ajayi on Friday in Ilorin.

The CP was received on arrival by the HOD ICT, Mr. Yinusa Musa, who conducted the commissioner of police round the facility, where some of the election materials already received by INEC, e.g., BVAS, computers, and other materials were kept.

The CP, who commended the policemen and other security men on duty, took time to advise the officers to be alert at all times and be very sensitive to what was happening around them.

In the entourage of the CP is DCP Adekimi Ojo, Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations, Kwara State Police Command.

In another development, members of the command’s anti-kidnapping team arrested one Issa Naigheti “m” on 4/1/2023 around Kambi area of Ilorin while on the trail of suspected kidnappers; he confessed under interogation to having conspired with two others to kidnap his father, one Bature Naigboho “m,” in Igboho/Igbeti area of Oyo State, and the sum of #2.5 million was collected as ransom.

Efforts are ongoing to arrest his other accomplices, and the case would be transferred to Oyo State, the venue of the crime.
