Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in Kano have apprehended four individuals suspected of being bandits within the state.
Relying on intelligence reports, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, stated that the police seized a collection of weapons and cash from the suspects.
The publication reported that three police officers, acting on reliable intelligence, carried out a planned operation on Thursday.
“Operation led by the Officer-in-Charge of Jarkuka Outpost, Mariri Division, resulted in the arrest of the following suspects: Shukurana Salihu, 25, from Katsina State, Rabi’u Dahiru, 35, from Katsina State, Ya’u Idris, 30, from Katsina State and Muktar Sani, from Yandodo Hotoro Quarters, Kano State,” the source said.
The suspects were discovered with these items: three locally manufactured revolver pistols, two cutlasses, twelve rounds of live ammunition in different calibres, three cartridges, four knives, four mobile phones, twenty-four pellets, and a vigilante group identity card.
In a related development, the source said the Command had strengthened its crime-fighting efforts and recently arrested three suspected car thieves while recovering two stolen vehicles.
The source said investigations are still in progress, adding that once concluded, the suspects will be brought before the court for prosecution.
