The force successfully recovered 210 firearms, 3,172 rounds of various ammunition, and 118 stolen vehicles. Crucially, 64 kidnapped victims were rescued, demonstrating the police’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives.
One of the most significant breakthroughs occurred with the arrest of a notorious arms dealer in Plateau State. The suspect, Jubril Musa, was captured with an assortment of illegal arms, including two rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, one Makarov pistol, a fabricated pistol, and various other rounds of ammunition.
