In its unwavering commitment to public safety and proactive crime prevention, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has intercepted a major illegal ammunition shipment and arrested a suspect in connection with the crime.

Police operatives from the Nyanya Division, FCT Command acting in synergy with officials of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), tracked and arrested a 32-year-old Nuhu Aminu from Katsina State, at the Nyanya bus terminal on March 24, 2025. The suspect was caught in possession of 488 AK-47 live rounds of ammunition, ingeniously concealed in two 25-litre jerrycans filled with palm oil to evade detection.

A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said upon interrogation, Aminu confessed that he was recruited by one Yakubu Kachalla of Funtua, Katsina State, who allegedly paid him ₦100,000 to collect the illegal cargo from an unidentified contact in Nasarawa State and deliver it to Katsina.

According to her, the arrest highlights the relentless efforts of the FCT Police Command in dismantling criminal networks and preventing the proliferation of illegal arms that fuel violent crimes. The suspect is in custody, and investigations are ongoing to apprehend his accomplices and uncover the full extent of this arms-smuggling operation.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), FCT Command, DCP Isyaku Sharu, urges residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities. The Command remains steadfast in ensuring the safety of all citizens and will not relent in its fight against crime.

For emergencies or to report suspicious activity, please contact the FCT Police Command through the following numbers: 08032003913, 08028940883, 07057337653, Complaint Response Unit: 08107314192
