The Nigeria Police Force has recorded major operational breakthroughs across 13 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), arresting 112 suspects, rescuing kidnapped victims, recovering firearms and ammunition, and disrupting criminal activities in coordinated nationwide operations.
The operations targeted cultism, armed robbery, kidnapping, homicide, banditry, sexual offences and drug-related crimes, leading to the recovery of a stolen vehicle, illicit substances and the neutralisation of a suspected kidnapper.
A situation report from the Force Headquarters showed that the FCT Police Command recorded the highest number of arrests after coordinated raids by operatives from 11 divisions across Abuja.
The operations, which focused on criminal hideouts, abandoned buildings and black spots, led to the arrest of 87 suspects and the recovery of suspected Indian hemp, illicit drugs and knives.
