​The Osun State Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with a burglary in which valuables valued at an estimated three million naira were stolen.

​Operatives attached to the Ilesa Area Command apprehended 27-year-old Eyelade Anuoluwa in Ibadan, Oyo State, following intelligence-led operations. According to the state police spokesperson, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, Anuoluwa allegedly broke into the complainant’s residence on July 26, 2026.

​The stolen items included an HP laptop, a Dell laptop, an iPhone 12, an Android phone, two power banks, and recharge cards, with a total estimated value of ₦3,000,000.

​After being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Anuoluwa reportedly confessed to the crime and disclosed that some of the stolen items had been transferred to a receiver in Ibadan. Subsequent intelligence operations led to the arrest of 28-year-old Abdullah Musa in Ibadan.

​Musa confessed to receiving the stolen goods, admitting specifically that he purchased the stolen iPhone 12 for twenty-five thousand naira (₦25,000). He is currently being investigated for alleged involvement in a wider syndicate dealing in stolen items.
