A bandit named Yusuf Monore, 20, has been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command in possession of an AK47 and AK49 rifles, and five rounds of live 7.62 X 39mm ammunition, three mobile phones and a torch.
The Police Command said its Crack Operatives of Operation Restore Peace at Galadimawa axis, acting on credible intelligence, made the arrest after dislodging an identified kidnappers’ den at Galadimawa Forest in the State on August 18, 2022.
A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Muhammed Jalige, said the fierce encounter saw the doggedness of the operatives met with stiff resistance from the hoodlums, who at the end succumbed to the professional firepower of the operatives and scampered deeper into the forest with varying degrees of bullet injuries.
He added that the suspect is being investigated as operatives were still on aggressive pursuit of his criminal cohorts.
