The Nigeria Police Force has arrested at least 13 suspects in connection with various offences, including homicide, gun violence, child defilement and indecent assault, in operations conducted across several states.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, disclosed this on Tuesday in the State-by-State Executive Summary of the force’s operational successes recorded between August 30 and 31.
Iniedu said the operations also led to the recovery of firearms and ammunition, while all the passengers abducted after bandits intercepted a passenger truck in Zamfara State were rescued unharmed.
In Zamfara, he said police and other security forces foiled a bandit attack after armed men intercepted a passenger truck, abducted all the passengers and set the vehicle ablaze.
The security forces reportedly engaged the bandits in a gun duel, forcing them to flee into the forest with suspected gunshot injuries.
