Police arrest son of isese woman over Ilorin fire incident
The Kwara State Police Command has arrested the son of Iya Ibiye, a traditional worshipper whose house was allegedly set ablaze by suspected arsonists in the Ojagboro area of Ilorin, Kwara State.
The suspect, identified as Malaika, was arrested in the early hours of Sunday by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and has since been taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at the Police Headquarters for further investigation.
The arrest comes barely a day after the police, in an official statement, confirmed the arrest of three community leaders in connection with the fire incident.
The suspects were said to be members of the leadership of the Community Development Association (CDA) in the area.
A police source disclosed that investigations into the incident are ongoing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the fire and identify all those involved.
The source added that the arrested community leaders, alongside any other suspects found culpable, will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
