The Ondo State Police Command has arrested one Oluwaseun Ade who was caught with three guns, five cutlasses and two cameras.
Ade was also found with four cell phones, some cartridges and other items in a well-branded political party bus.
The Commissioner of Police, Mrs Hilda, presented the suspects to newsmen in Akure on Monday.
Ibifuro-Harrison said that the suspect
was arrested by personnel of the 32 Artillery Brigade during a ‘stop-
and-search’ patrol on Nov.18 in Igbokoda.
She said that the suspect had given
relevant information to the police on how he came across the harmful
items, saying that prosecution would commence after full investigation.
She added that the command was beaming
its searchlight on activities of all political parties to ensure that
criminality was not allowed.
Ibifuro-Harrison assured that criminal activities would not be tolerated in the state.
According to her, there was full security presence in all nooks and crannies of the state.
She said that over 25, 000 police personnel would be deployed for the Saturday election.
Speaking to newsmen, Ade said that he
was not aware that the dangerous items were in the bus, adding that he
was only a photographer meant to cover a political rally in the area.
The suspect stated that his co-passengers ran away immediately the items were found in the bus.
