The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command says it has recovered two assault rifles, magazines, and live ammunition from a suspected bandits' hideout in Dajin Madam Forest during a follow-up operation linked to an earlier arms trafficking investigation.

The police disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, who said the latest operation marked another breakthrough in the command's ongoing campaign against kidnapping and organised crime.

Adeh said that operatives of the Command's Anti-Kidnapping Unit carried out the operation on August 2, 2026, following actionable intelligence obtained from one of four suspects previously arrested for allegedly supplying arms, ammunition and illicit substances to bandits.
