…Suspects Nabbed in Ibadan Following Intelligence-Led Operation

The Osun State Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with a burglary in which valuables estimated at N3 million were stolen, including a stolen iPhone 12 that was sold for N25,000 .

CDA News Nigeria reports that the suspects are 27-year-old Eyelade Anuoluwa, who was arrested in Ibadan following intelligence gathering by operatives attached to the Ilesa Area Command, and 28-year-old Abdullah Musa, who was arrested as a receiver of the stolen items .

CDA News Nigeria gathered that Anuoluwa allegedly burgled the residence of the complainant on July 26, 2026, and stole “one HP laptop, one Dell laptop, an iPhone 12, one Android phone, two power banks and recharge cards, with an estimated total value of ₦3,000,000” .

The suspect was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, where he allegedly confessed to the crime and disclosed that some of the stolen property had been transferred to a receiver in Ibadan. Police operatives from SCID then embarked on an intelligence-led operation that led to the arrest of Musa, who confessed to receiving the stolen properties and allegedly buying an iPhone 12 from the suspect for N25,000 .

The operation also led to the recovery of several items, including one HP laptop, one Dell laptop, one small Samsung phone, one mini DP charger, two power banks, one Apple iPad 16GB, and one scrap phone .

The Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, CP Ibrahim Zungura, commended the operatives for their diligence and intelligence-led approach. The command said investigation is ongoing to establish the full extent of the suspects’ activities, and the suspects will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation in accordance with the law .
