Police detain four Pakistani nationals over suspicious presence in Ekiti community

The Ekiti State police command has detained four Pakistani nationals following reports of their suspicious presence in Iyin-Ekiti, located in the Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area.According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, the suspects were arrested after residents raised concerns about unfamiliar individuals in the community, which sparked tension among locals. Citing sources, Makama reported that a distress call was received by the Iyin-Ekiti police division on June 9, prompting officers to mobilise to the area immediately."Upon arrival at the scene, police operatives intercepted and arrested four men identified as Muhammad Yusuf, 47; Ghani Abdul, 36; Abdul Jabbar, 46; and Yusuf Muhammad, 47," Makama said."The suspects reportedly told investigators that they were nationals of Pakistan who had travelled to Nigeria to sell mobile phones and engage in sightseeing activities. However, police sources said the men were unable to provide satisfactory explanations or documentation regarding their activities and presence in the community at the time of their arrest."The publication said the four men were taken into custody for further questioning and verification of their identities and intentions. Makama reported that police authorities said investigations are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the suspects' presence in the area and to determine whether any laws have been violated."The command urged residents to remain calm and continue to cooperate with security agencies by reporting suspicious movements and activities," Makama said. "It also reassured the public that all necessary steps were being taken to ensure the safety and security of communities across the state."The post Police detain four Pakistani nationals over suspicious presence in Ekiti community appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
