Ondo: Police harvest five over Ifon station arson

News Update

THe Ondo State Police Command has apprehended five suspects in connection with the burning of the Divisional Police Station in Ifon, Ose Local Government area.

The State Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi, confirmed the arrests in an interview in Akure, stating that a full investigation has been launched into the incident.

It will be recalled that violence erupted in Ifon following a clash between two families, escalating into widespread unrest that led to houses being torched before police intervened.

The situation worsened when an individual arrested during the fracas died in police custody, sparking protests that culminated in the burning of the police station.

Condemning the attack, the Commissioner warned residents against taking the law into their own hands.

“There are proper institutions to seek justice. We have succeeded in arresting five suspects, and they are currently in our custody at the headquarters.

“Ifon cannot function without a police station, and every right-thinking person in the community knows that setting it ablaze was a mistake.

“When people take such actions, they undermine the rule of law.

“My advice is that in future incidents, we should act with civility and follow due process instead of resorting to violence,” he added.
