As hoodlums continue the looting spree in states across the federation, luck ran out of a Kogi-based Pastor Sunday Edino and his accomplices who were arrested with medical equipment in Lokoja by the state’s Commissioner of Police, Ede Ayuba and his men on Monday.

Earlier, some medical equipment worth over N1.2b kept in a warehouse in Lokoja were vandalized and looted by hoodlums.

The Commissioner of police of Kogi State, CP Ede Ayuba Ekpeji and his men swiftly launched a manhunt on the criminals and this led to the arrest of Pastor Sunday Edino and others.

 Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello had earlier warned that youths should conduct themselves peacefully while protesting but threatened that his administration will not spare the protesters should they engage in criminal activities.

 The #EndSARS protest had largely been under control in Kogi State owing to the fact the state governor, Yahaya Bello had earlier lent his voice in support of the youths who were protesting against police brutality across the nation, has now degenerated into lawlessness and looting.
