Ayeni Olasunkanmi, the spokesperson for NSCDC, Kwara Command, said the gender unit of the command arrested the two suspects following a report.

The NSCDC commandant in the state, Muhammed Ibrahim, assured that the suspects would be taken to court after a full investigation.
He urged people of the state to be more vigilant and report any criminal act or security threat in their communities.
