The police yesterday named a 29-year-old
alleged drug baron as one of the brains behind the April 5 bank robberies in
Offa, Kwara State.
Adegoke Shogo, described as a mega distributor
of Indian hemp, allegedly provided part of the logistics used during the
operation that claimed at least 17 lives, including those of nine policemen.
Twelve more suspects, including Shogo, have
been arrested by the police in connection with the robberies, Force
Headquarters spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, an Assistant Superintendent of Police,
told reporters in Abuja.
This brings to 20 the number of people so far
arrested over the operation.
The police said Adegoke Shogo sponsored the attacks with
“misplaced expectations of expanding his criminal and social profile.”
