The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) said its operatives have arrested three more suspects in connection with the recent killings in Plateau State.

NPF spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, adding that police operatives attached to IRT have embarked on a series of successful operations targeting criminal conspiracy, gunrunning, and unlawful possession of firearms strongly linked to earlier incidents in the Plateau State.

“In a focused operation on May 3, 2025, at about 4:30 PM, a team of IRT operatives acting on credible intelligence apprehended one Abubakar Jibrin from Kalone Community, Shendam LGA, Plateau State,” Adejobi said.

“Jibrin was found to be in unlawful possession of prohibited firearms. Following his arrest, Jibrin’s confession led to the discovery of one SMG rifle with an empty magazine at his residence.”

Adejobi said adding to these accomplishments, on Sunday, May 4, in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, police operatives recovered two fabricated revolver rifles.

According to him, the firearms were linked to cartridges originating from a suspect identified as Ismail Danjuma, who is now in custody and assisting with the ongoing investigation on the killings on the Plateau.

Adejobi said these recent operations demonstrate the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to diligently ensuring every person complicit in these condemnable killings is brought to justice and made to face the full wrath of the law.

He added that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has urged members of the public to maintain calmness, continue providing crucial information and unalloyed support that can aid the efforts of the NPF in restoring peace in these disturbed areas and other parts of Nigeria.
