The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Police, on
Wednesday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, says it
has uncovered a new strategy used by cultists and
other hoodlums to poison their victims and
dispossess them of their valuables.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ajayi
Okesanmi, said the cultists and other evil minded
people put tramadol inside a Lacasera drink or other
soft drinks and make their victims to drink it thinking
they were drinking safe soft drink.
Okesanmi explained that the victims, after drinking
the poisoned drink, would fall asleep while the
bandits would dispossess the victims of his or her
valuables.
He warned the public to be cautious of such evil
schemes and avoid taking gifts from unknown people,
especially during traveling.
The PPRO spoke in Ilorin while parading three
suspects for alleged involvement in the recent cult
clashes in the state capital and for allegedly
conspiring to poison a lady and dispose her of her
money.
Okesanmi added that the police on Monday arrested
two suspects, Adeniyi Sijibomi (18) and Tosin David
for allegedly trying to poison a lady, Bidemi Adewole,
of the Sapati Ile area of Ilorin.
He said the suspects were members of a cult group.
According to him, the suspects, who are also from
the Sapati Ile area, had poisoned a bottle of Lacasera
drink with tramadol and attempted to force the
victim to drink it, explaining that Adewole
miraculously escaped.
The PPRO said Adewole later complained to the
police that the suspects had allegedly conspired to
kill her using a poison-laden Lacasera drink.
The police spokesman alleged that Sijibomi and John
Onucho (25) were involved in the cult clashes in Ilorin
in which two people were confirmed dead by the
police.
He stated that the suspects were all members of Eiye
confraternity, adding that two locally manufactured
pistols, two live cartridges and one expended
cartridge were recovered from the suspects.
Okesanmi said, “On Tuesday, in a bid to arrest the
perpetrators of the last cult clashes in Ilorin, which
led to the killing of two young men, the command, in
addition to suspects earlier arrested and charged,
had also picked up the two suspects, who confessed
to being part of the latest cult activities recorded last
week with the arms used in the dastardly act.”
But the suspects denied the police allegations against
them.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress, Kwara
State chapter, has condemned the cult clashes in the
state capital.
The party, in a statement by its state’s Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, described the cult
clashes as unfortunate, condemnable and
unacceptable to the peace-loving people of Kwara
State.
