A serving police officer identified as Police Constable Idris Oloyede, arrested in Ogun State for alleged involvement in conspiracy, cybercrime, and other related offences has escaped from the police custody.

According to the Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Police Force in a signal obtained by SaharaReporters on Thursday, Oloyede who was arrested on May 21, 2025, at approximately 6:10 PM, escaped from the custody of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit at about 11:30 PM, a few hours after his arrest.

The Command said the criminal officer escaped from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit team while on enquiry at Odeda Township.

“The Police Constable Idris Oloyede, a.k.a Abuja, attached to Odeda Police Divisional headquarters who is under investigation by operatives of Anti-Kidnapping Unit of Ogun State for offences of conspiracy, robbery and stealing has escaped from the team while on enquiry at Odeda Township at about 2330hrs of May 21, 2025,” the police signal read.

“He has been declared wanted by the COMPOL Ogun State Command. If seen, be arrested and hand over to Supol Odeda for necessary action.”

SaharaReporters earlier reported that Oloyede with Force Number 537972 and attached to Patrol Teak Mine, was arrested following his alleged collusion with known cybercriminals to perpetrate fraudulent online activities.

The operation which led to the arrest of the erring officer followed a confession by a male suspect already in custody, who claimed that Oloyede had provided him with two Facebook s and an MTN SIM card.

The items were allegedly used to lure unsuspecting victims and carry out various cyber-related crimes.

Upon receiving the report, Oloyede was arrested and was then confronted with the allegations in the presence of the suspect.

The Command said that a follow-up search was carried out at the constable’s privately rented accommodation located behind the Police Barracks in Odeda.

The search yielded several items, including iPhones and multiple SIM cards, which were seized as potential evidence.

Following preliminary questioning, Oloyede was handed over to the Anti-Kidnapping Unit at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further interrogation and investigation.

Oloyede’s case adds to a troubling pattern of law enforcement personnel being implicated in criminal activities, particularly cybercrime.

🐕 dnt eat 🐕. Mbanu

Maybe he escaped to Abuja

Escape ke, abi power changed hands, in Nigeria, try know 1 or 2 person at the top, it's essential.

The lawlessness in Nigeria is at its peak.

Crazy people
How do we recognize this "wanted" police officer without his picture? How did he escape? Don't we just have the most corrupt system in the world?!

The reigning insult in Nigeria today is Mugu, which means a person who is not corrupt. Everybody now wants to be like Tinubu. And that includes police officers.

Arrested on 21 May 2025, escaped on 22 may 2025

He was aided by insiders, no debate about that!

Police na thief dem be how him no go escape.

The country just tire person, the people who are supposed to uphold the law are among the chief law breakers

When will the Nigeria Police force come of age? You said if seen, we should hand him over to the police. Information without pictures.

Escaped?? 😂😂


If you believe he truly “escaped”, then, you can believe that the bar beach is for sale. 😎

Anyone who has ever been arrested by the Nigerian police even in the remotest station knows that it's virtually impossible to escape detention except through collusion

O jaapa
