Kwara state police command has arrested a man who pretended to be mentally ill with several stolen items.

According to Punch, the man was arrested near the state Ministry of Environment and Forestry along the Ahmadu Bello Way in Ilorin.


A cheque of N100m, pictures he allegedly took with top politicians in Nigeria, four automated teller machine cards, male and female condoms, Valium injections and Infinix Hot 5 phone were found on him, upon being searched, sources reveal.
