Adeleye listed the looted items retrieved from the suspects to include police cardigans, boots, riffles and motorcycles.

He explained that the suspects were also linked with the arson on police stations in the state, noting that they had allegedly confessed to the crime.

According to him, the suspects would be handed over to the relevant security agency for further investigation and prosecution.

Recall that the nationwide protest that saw citizens demanding an end to police brutality and bad governance in the country was hijacked by thugs.

The protest was later greeted with violence and looting of items by miscreants in the state.

At least three police stations in Okitipupa and Akure were razed by the thugs during the violence.
