Four suspects arrested in Kwara State for allegedly destroying billboards and posters have been remanded at the Federal Correctional Facility in Ilorin.
Mr Paul Odama, the state Commissioner of Police, stated at a press conference in Ilorin on Friday that the four suspects arrested for the crime were charged in court following a police investigation.
They were accused of criminal conspiracy, causing harm, disturbing the public peace, and mischief.
The suspects were identified as Lukman Giwa, Elesinla Nabeel, Munirudeen Olosasa, and Abdulrasheed Olosasa by the police.
They were apprehended on December 3, 2022, while destroying billboards at the Abdulrasaq Olosasa compound in Ode Alausa Ilorin.
The police boss said the destruction of billboards, campaign posters and other materials constituted a crime in the Electoral Act of 2022.
Prime9jaOnline reports that hoodlums, last week Saturday, vandalised campaign posters of some candidates in Ode Alausa, in Ilorin, the state capital.
