The Nasarawa State Police Command has announced the arrest of a 21-year-old suspected female arms runner who was en route to supply ammunition to terrorists in local government areas known for terror activities
According to Nansel, the arrest followed credible intelligence indicating that Fatima Salisu, a native of Funtua in Katsina State, was intercepted in the Azuba area of Lafia. She was allegedly transporting a large cache of ammunition through Keana and Doma LGAs, en route to deliver the consignment to criminal elements in Katsina.
“Acting swiftly on the intelligence tip-off, Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima J. Mohammed, ordered the immediate deployment of the Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit,” Nansel said.
The operation led to the arrest of the suspect and the recovery of 400 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition and 81 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition.
The suspect is currently in custody and undergoing interrogation as investigators work to dismantle the arms trafficking network and trace its connections to armed banditry and terrorism.
