Michael explained that on September 5, 2024, Olusegun Taiwo from the Sango area of Ilorin filed a report at the NSCDC office, alleging that she was attacked by a group of youths on a motorcycle. The attackers forcibly stole her bag, phones, and other valuables.
The NSCDC swiftly responded, arresting seven individuals believed to be involved in the criminal activities during the protest by commercial tricycle and motorcycle riders. The suspects are now under investigation and are suspected of being part of a larger group of hoodlums causing unrest in Ilorin, particularly in the Sango area. The protest, which was initially peaceful, was reportedly hijacked by these individuals who engaged in theft and other disruptive acts, leading to heightened public unrest in the city.
