In its continued efforts to protect the lives and property of the good people and residents of Ondo State, the Ondo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public of the successful outcome of a coordinated raid operation which led to the arrest of ninety-nine (99) suspects involved in various criminal activities across the state on 8th February, 2026.
The operation was carried out through a joint security effort involving the Ondo State Police Command, the 32 Brigade Artillery of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ondo State Command, the Directorate of State Services (DSS), and the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as the Amotekun Corps.
The intelligence-led raid operation targeted identified criminal hideouts, black spots, and flashpoints across several parts of the state known for criminal activities. The coordinated operation resulted in the arrest of 99 suspects linked to offences such as armed robbery, burglary, theft, cultism, and other related crimes.
During the operation, several items suspected to have been used for criminal activities as well as suspected stolen properties and other incriminating exhibits were recovered from the suspects. The arrested individuals are currently undergoing screening and profiling, while those found culpable will be charged to court accordingly.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, psc(+), mnips, commended the professionalism, synergy, and commitment displayed by all participating security agencies during the operation, noting that such collaboration remains crucial in the fight against crime and criminality within the state.
The CP further reiterated the Command’s unwavering commitment to sustaining intelligence-driven policing and joint security operations aimed at dismantling criminal networks and maintaining law and order across Ondo State.
He once again warned criminal elements to desist from engaging in unlawful activities within the state, stressing that Ondo State will not serve as a safe haven for criminals, as security agencies will continue to intensify operations to identify, track, and decisively deal with offenders regardless of where they operate or attempt to hide.
Members of the public are encouraged to continue supporting security agencies with timely, credible and actionable information, as community cooperation remains vital in sustaining the prevailing peace and security in the state.
The Ondo State Police Command assures the public that no effort will be spared in ensuring that all perpetrators of crime are brought to justice.
