Police authorities in Abuja have arrested some suspected bandits, and kidnappers, saying they also rescued 154 abductees in the area in two weeks.
Force Spokesman Muyiwa Adejopu said this in a late Friday statement, saying the successes were due to the recent launch of the Special Intervention Squad (SIS) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the wake of worsening security conditions in Abuja.
“The recent launch of the Special Intervention Squad (SIS) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, has further bolstered the security architecture of the FCT leading to the arrest of 139 suspects, recovery of three GPR Chargers, two AK-47 rifles, one Type-06, four locally fabricated guns, one Berretta pistol, two Makarov pistols, 4 locally fabricated pump action guns, 504 pieces of AK-47 ammunition, 100 pieces of AA ammunition, as well as the rescue of 154 kidnapped victims unhurt,” the statement read partly.
