Nigeria Police Release Details Of 78 Arrested Allies Of Ex-Oyo State Parks Chairman, Auxiliary

The Oyo State Police Command has taken into custody 78 individuals associated with the Park Management System (PMS) under allegations of planning substantial public disturbances in the state.

Naija News had earlier reported that police during an operation at Diamond Hotel, Alakia, Ibadan, owned by the former PMS chairman, Mukaila Lamidi, also known as Auxiliary, recovered guns, ammunition, and charms.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Command’s spokesperson, SP Osifeso Adewale, confirmed that the police operation was based on intelligence and designed to thwart what he called a “coordinated attempt at destabilising the state through wide-scale civil disturbance.”

He implicated the Park Management Systems and Mukaila Lamidi AKA Auxiliary, particularly in the light of the recent dissolution of the Disciplinary Committee of the PMS.

Adewale disclosed, “On Tuesday 30/05/2023, a strategic intelligence coordinated raid around his location at Diamond Hotel led to the arrest of 78 suspected troublemakers who were planning to cause mayhem early today in major parts of the Metropolis. They were found in possession of sophisticated firearms, 724 cartridges, assorted charms, 33 mobile phones, and about ₦3,450,000 ($8,550).”

He added that more firearms were found in hotel rooms and parked vehicles.

Following these events, Adewale urged the public to cooperate by providing useful information to aid in apprehending the escaped PMS chief.

He reassured residents that the area and its surroundings were being actively monitored and adequately patrolled by police to instil confidence and prevent any fear of harassment or molestation.

The Command asked the residence to call the control room numbers: 615(Tell free) (Oyo State Security Trust Fund), and Oyo State Police Command Emergency lines 07055495413 and 08081768614 in case of emergency.

The seized items included a variety of firearms, ammunition, cutlasses, jack knives, mobile phones, a laptop, charms, vehicles, and a significant cash sum.
