In the continued effort and stride against criminality in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the operatives of the FCT Police Command from the anti-kidnapping unit, in synergy with troops of the Nigerian Army Guards Brigade, conducted clearance operations in some identified bandits’ camps in Kaduna and Niger States, respectively, all bordering FCT.
A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the security operatives, in a streak of well-coordinated operations between June 30 and July 4, 2024, stormed some identified bandits camps in Gidan Dogo and Jerei forests, Kaduna State, and Niger State, all bordering FCT, and apprehended six suspects, Inusa Musa, Isiya Adamu, Kare Gambo, Aminu Musa, and Muhammed Ibrahim.
