The Nigerian Police Force has paraded 35 suspects including a female in Benin City, Edo State for armed robbery and kidnapping.
Among the people arrested were prison inmates who escaped during the ‘hijacked’ #EndSARS protest.
Confirming the arrest, the Commissioner of Police, Johnson Babatunde Kokumo, said that the criminals left the prison, forged a new alliance and network and went straight into criminal activities.
One of the inmates interviewed confirmed that he escaped from Oko prison in Edo State and also pointed at other suspects whom he went into a robbery with.
Some of the items recovered include vehicles, arms and ammunition.
