THE resolve of operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and its unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens appears to be yielding results as it has arrested five (5) suspects involved in trans-border gun-running.
The suspects, identified as Adamu Noma ‘m’, Matthew Audu ‘m’, Andrew Poyi ‘m’, Aminu Sani ‘m’, and Aminu Talha ‘m’, were apprehended by the operatives of the FID-IRT on the 18th of November 2024 in Zamfara State.
Upon arrest and conducted search, 10 locally fabricated Ak-47 rifles, 5 Israeli Ak-47 rifles, 1 revolver pistol, 1 pump action rifle, 20 rounds of Ak-47 ammunition, and 1 welding machine for fabrication of rifles were recovered from the suspect.
These feats, and several more recorded by police operatives across the country, according to Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, are indications of the steadfastness and commitment of the current police leadership to decimate and subdue criminal activities and insecurity in general in the country.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has, in the meantime, re-echoed his directive to operatives of the Force, particularly tactical units, to mop up every illegal arms and ammunition and see to the total dismantling of local manufacturers of illicit arms and ammunition and dangerous weapons by all means.
