Six suspects have been arrested in connection with the abduction of school pupils, as well as the killings of three individuals, including two teachers and one motorcycle rider, in Ahoro-Esiele, located in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed that the suspects are currently assisting the police with their ongoing investigation.
“We have six suspects in custody, and they are assisting the investigation.”
The suspects, as reliably informed, were said to be informants to the bandits who were apprehended at different locations by joint security operatives comprising Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force, Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and Agro-Ranger.
It was further gathered that the suspected informants were tracked through their various telephone conversations with the abductors on how to navigate the National Park to a safe heaven.
