According to ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, the police arrested Ogaga Dickson, a 35-year-old member of a notorious armed robbery syndicate, on November 1, 2024. The syndicate was responsible for the death of CSP Hassan Jega, the Divisional Police Officer of Agbarho Division in Delta State. Upon Dickson’s arrest, the police recovered an array of weapons, including an AK-47 rifle, an English pistol, a locally made pistol, ammunition of various calibres, and six exotic vehicles.
In a separate operation, police operatives apprehended a child-trafficking syndicate led by Pastor Dayo Bernard of End Time Army Ministry in Bukuru, Plateau State. The operation led to the rescue of five children aged between 2-4, who had been abducted from various homes in Jos. The principal suspect confessed to abducting and selling 13 children at varying prices, all of whom have been recovered by the police and reunited with their families.
The police also recovered 14 AK-47 rifles in recent operations, in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s directive to mop up illicit arms and ammunition in circulation. These operations demonstrate the Nigeria Police Force’s unwavering resolve to combat crime and enhance national security
