No fewer than 29 suspects linked to kidnapping, homicide, car theft and drug trafficking have been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command in the last two weeks, with operatives recovering firearms, stolen vehicles, jewellery valued at over N30m and 2,700 sachets of Tramadol.
The Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Rabiu, disclosed the arrests on Monday while briefing journalists on the command’s recent achievements in crime-fighting operations across the state.
He said the successes were recorded through intelligence-led policing and sustained collaboration with other security agencies and residents.
He said, “Within the last two weeks, the command successfully arrested 12 suspected kidnappers, 13 suspects for culpable homicide and four suspected car snatchers and recovered four stolen vehicles, as well as 2,700 sachets of Tramadol and other drugs.”
Among the major breakthroughs, the police boss said six suspected bandits were arrested following intelligence on the movement of illicit firearms across state lines.
