The Plateau State Police Command has announced a series of successful operations for September 2025, resulting in multiple arrests, the rescue of kidnap victims, and the recovery of weapons and stolen property.
During a press briefing at the Command's headquarters in Jos, the State Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Adesina, detailed the breakthroughs. He highlighted the arrest of numerous suspects involved in kidnapping, armed robbery, and the unlawful possession of firearms.
Key achievements from the month include:
· The arrest of a kidnap syndicate: Suspect Auwal Mohammed was apprehended and confessed to being part of a gang operating between Plateau and Bauchi states.
· Rescue of a victim and firearm recovery: Following the kidnapping of a man named Ebuka, police rescued the victim and arrested four suspects. A locally fabricated pistol was recovered during the operation.
· Armed robbery arrests: Two suspects, Inusa Yahaya and Abdulrahman Suleiman, were arrested in possession of a locally fabricated revolver rifle.
· Cattle rustling bust: Police recovered stolen cows and arrested suspects involved in the theft.
· Illegal firearms possession: Suspect Godwin Jacob was found with a locally fabricated pistol and live ammunition. Another suspect, Emmanuel Markus, was also arrested and confessed to the crime.
Commissioner Adesina also confirmed that in a separate case of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery, one suspect is in custody while efforts are ongoing to apprehend his accomplices.
Looking ahead, the Commissioner of Police has directed all Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Heads of Tactical and Patrol Teams to commence "Ember Month Surveillance" operations. This initiative is designed to ensure the safety of residents throughout the final months of the year, a period often associated with increased criminal activity.
