The Nigeria Police Force has conducted a raid on Diamond Hotel located in Alakia, Ibadan, Oyo State.
This media outfit reports that the target was the hideout of Mukaila Lamidi, also known as Auxiliary, the former chairman of the Park Management System (PMS) in Oyo State.
This newspaper learnt that during the raid, law enforcement officials discovered a cache of ammunition and charms.
According to a police source involved in the operation, Auxiliary escaped upon realising significant police presence at his hotel.
This development comes after Governor Seyi Makinde dissolved the Management of the Motor Park System in the state, including Auxiliary’s position, through his Chief of Staff, Segun Ogunwuyi.

Aside from the ammunition and charms, the police also seized 474 bullets, a cutlass, and a substantial amount of cash from Auxiliary’s hideout.
The raid was conducted based on credible intelligence suggesting that Auxiliary had devised plans to instigate unrest in Ibadan, the state capital, on Wednesday, following the dissolution of his committee.
