The police have revealed the identities of 12 suspects who were arrested for alleged connection to the last Thursday\u2019s robbery in Offa, Kwara State.<\/p>\n

Armed robbers stormed the community the afternoon of April 5, killing 17 people and raiding five banks. Eight police officers at Owode Division, Offa, were also killed in the attack, and the robbers made away with police arms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

The police arrested seven suspects within the first two days of the attack and made more arrests on later dates.<\/p>\n

The police had earlier withheld the names of the first batch of suspects, saying doing so could jeopardize efforts to arrest the remaining members of the gang or\/and threaten the entire investigation into the deadly robbery that had gripped the nation for the past one week.<\/p>\n

President Muhammadu Buhari and other Nigerian leaders have condemned the attack and called on the police to take immediate action to bring the perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n

Jimoh Moshood, the police spokesperson at Force Headquarters, released details of the arrests, including recovered exhibits, in a statement to PREMIUM TIMES around 6:00 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
