Acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi paraded the suspects in Abuja on Thursday.
 An arms smuggler, notorious bandit leader and other criminals have been arrested by the police.
This was made public by the police on Thursday.
According to the Nigeria Police Force Intelligence Bureau Special
Tactical Squad (FIB-STS), it arrested about 30 suspects for banditry,
murder, kidnapping, rape and other violent crimes.
Parading the suspects in Abuja on Thursday, Acting Force Public
Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the FIB-STS equally
recovered a total of eight foreign and seven locally made AK47 rifles,
eight revolver rifles, 2,200 rounds of live ammunition of different
calibres, 14 AK47 magazines, three stolen cars, 10 fake number plates
and a cash sum of N1,880,000 from the suspects during follow-up
investigations.
Notable amongst the cases was the arrest of one Ahmed Yunusa, aka
“Yellow Ashana”, a 36-year-old leader of a vicious bandit group that has
been terrorising communities and road users along the Abuja-Kaduna
expressway.
The suspect who has been on the run following a police operation
that led to the death of a member of his syndicate, one Yellow Magaji
a.k.a Arushe, was arrested during a sting operation by police operatives
of the FIB-STS.
The suspect confessed that he led the syndicate which has carried
out several kidnapping operations on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, and
launched three different attacks on Kadara Community in Kaduna State,
wherein scores of persons were killed.
He equally confessed to the kidnap and murder of one Hafsat Isah,
who was lured into the bandit camp by her friend, one Ladi Sale that was
equally arrested by the police.
Also arrested was one Mrs Nvou Michael, a 37-year-old female from
Vom LGA, Plateau State, who was intercepted by operatives along
Samminaka/Jos expressway, Kaduna State, in possession of 15 locally made
rifles and 400 rounds of 7.62 x 39mm AK47 ammunition in a Toyota Hummer
bus travelling from Jos, Plateau State to Kaduna State. Investigations
revealed the suspect was an arms smuggler for some bandit groups in
Kaduna State.
Similarly, Police operatives arrested one Nuhu Yakubu, a
33-year-old male from Donga, Taraba State, while he was conveying 1,500
AK47 ammunition from Wukari to bandits in the Donga Forest.
The operatives of the FIB-STS equally apprehended the duo of Idris
Abdulwahab, 26-year-old, and Adams Ibrahim, 37-year-old, both from
Okene, Kogi State, who have been linked to major bank robbery operations
at Ondo State, and in Egbe, Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi
State, in 2021, where they killed a security guard.
The suspects who specialize in the use of improvised explosive
devices (IEDs) to forcefully gain access into banks for their robbery
operations, were intercepted by eagle-eyed police operatives at a check
point in Isonu, Kogi State, while heading to Okene from their forest
hideout, with a cash sum of one million, eight hundred and eighty
thousand Naira (N1,880,000)
All the suspects will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations.
Commending the operatives of the Force Intelligence Bureau Special
Tactical Squad (FIB-STS) for the recent arrest, the Inspector-General of
Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, charged Police Operatives across the
country to sustain the tempo in the fight to curb violent crimes in the
country.
The IGP while assuring the nation that the Force would continue to
close-up on these criminal elements who pose a threat to national
security, calls on well-meaning members of the public to readily assist
the police with information to effectively combat the purveyors of
violent crimes in the society.
