The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has raided a suspected bandits’ hideout in Dajin Mamdam Forest, recovering two FN FAL rifles and live ammunition.
The command said the operation followed intelligence from investigations into a suspected arms trafficking syndicate allegedly supplying weapons and ammunition to criminal groups.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this on Wednesday, saying operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit carried out the operation on August 2, 2026.
Adeh said the operation was based on information provided by one of the suspects, Musbahu Ishaq, who was among four suspects earlier arrested for alleged involvement in the supply of arms, ammunition and illicit substances to bandits.
