“In the swift operations, police operatives arrested 720 suspects with incriminating items, including locally-made guns, cartridges, charms and substances suspected to be Indian hemp and cocaine.

“Also, some items suspected to have been looted from various shopping outlets within the state during the recent EndSARS violence were found within the suspected criminals.”

According to Adejobi, the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, had earlier warned and directed police officers and men to move against lawlessness and criminality in the state.

He said: “Odumosu affirmed the zeal of the command to sustain the operations, even beyond the yuletide season.

“The police chief commended the officers and men of the command for the successful operations, while he urged them to be at alert for more operations across the state.”

The PPRO stated that Odumosu had also directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of SCID, Panti, to commence discreet investigation on the arrested suspects for immediate prosecution.

He also said the commissioner asked those whose property were looted during the recent EndSARS violence to come for claims of their items, with prove of ownership.
