A farmer at Babadiya Village in Oyo State, Mr Yakubu Pako, has discovered some arms buried in his farmland by unknown persons.
DSP Adebayo Lanode, the spokesperson of the Oyo State Police Command, said in a statement on Thursday that the farmer dug up three single barrel guns and one locally made pistol while at work on his farm on Oct. 3.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that snapshots of the scene and the arms were taken to assist the police in their investigations.
In another development, two suspects have been arrested for attempting to murder three children at Fulani Ataye Village, near Saki.
Lanode said that one Wakili Aliyu reported that one of the suspects led an eight-man gang into the bush and abducted his children who were grazing their cattle.
NAN reports that the incident happened on Oct. 7 at about 11am.
Aliyu added that the man ordered his gang members to tie the hands and legs of his children and throw them into a nearby river.
“He was, however, prevailed upon by members of his gang to spare the lives of my three children,” Aliyu said.
Aliyu alleged that his children were later taken to the camp of the man where they were allegedly tortured until day break.
The police said investigation was in progress to apprehend more suspects while the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. (NAN)
