The Kaduna State Police Command said its operatives have arrested seven suspected cultists and recovered firearms in the state.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, disclosed this in a statement issued in Kaduna.
According to Hassan, the arrest is a major blow to criminal networks in the state as the Command continues to make significant strides in the pursuit of justice and safety for all citizens.
“In yet another remarkable achievement, the Command has arrested seven suspected cultists, seized illegal firearms, and recovered suspicious substance believed to be blood,” the statement said.
According the police spokesman, the operation conducted on April 6, 2024, was initiated based on intelligence gathered from a reliable source.
“Acting swiftly on the received information, police operatives moved into action at about 03:00 hours after reports indicated unusual activities in the rocky and mountainous region of Dumbi along the Kaduna-Zaria expressway.
“During the raid, seven suspects were arrested, while others fled.
“Among items seized from the suspects were two pistols, a 30-litre jerrycan containing liquid suspected to be blood, and a Lexus car.”
