The Nigeria Police Force has intensified its fight against armed banditry, parading multiple suspects accused of supplying weapons to criminal gangs operating in Plateau, Kaduna, and surrounding states. Among those reportedly apprehended is a Reverend Father, who allegedly had an AK‑47 rifle and live ammunition.
Police reports suggest that the suspects admitted to transporting the firearms to armed groups terrorizing communities in northern Nigeria. The crackdown also included the arrest of a major arms dealer in Plateau, believed to have supplied weapons to kidnappers and bandits. Authorities say these arrests form part of a broader operation across Nasarawa, Plateau, Kaduna, and Taraba to stem the flow of illegal arms.
While the involvement of a clergyman has raised eyebrows, authorities emphasize that the investigation is ongoing, and legal proceedings will determine culpability. The operation underscores the Nigerian Police Force’s commitment to dismantling criminal networks supplying weapons to violent gangs and protecting vulnerable communities.
This development highlights the complex challenge of arms proliferation in northern Nigeria and the need for vigilance at both community and national levels.
