Police Arrest Ex-SARS Officer And Two Others Declared Wanted For Offa Robbery

Operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team have arrested one of the four robbery suspects declared wanted for attacks on banks in Offa, Kwara State.

The suspect, Michael Adikwu, an ex-policeman, was said to have been dismissed in 2012 by the Kwara State Police Command for allegedly aiding the escape of some robbery suspects.

According to Punch Metro, Adikwu, until his dismissal, was attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the state command. Adikwu was said to have been arraigned in court and remanded in prison, where he spent three years before he found his way out and formed a robbery gang with others.

He was reportedly arrested on Tuesday in a town in Kwara State by the DCP Abba Kyari-led IRT operatives, who acted on a tip-off from members of the public who saw Adikwu’s picture among those declared wanted.
