Nigerian Navy School of Armament Technology, says its operatives had arrested no fewer than nine suspects involved in kidnapping, cattle rustling and banditry in Kaduna State.
The Commandant of the School, Rear Admiral Tanko Pani made the disclosure while handing over the suspects to the Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday in Kachia.
Pani said the arrest followed four months surveillance of suspected dangerous criminal syndicates operating in Kachia and other parts of the State.
He identified those arrested as Abubakar Duguri, alias Kure, Saleh Magaji, alias Bodari, Idris Iliyasu, Auwal Yahyah, and Monore Abu.
Others are Mohammed Wakili, Tanimu Ibrahim, alias Sambo, Abdullahi Adamu alias Yellow and Umar Alhassan.
“Various items were recovered from them which include weapons, motorbikes and military camouflage uniforms, amongst others, which they use for their operations.”
He explained that victims that were unable to meet the demands of the suspects were either killed, maimed or injured, while some of the female victims were raped.
Pani cautioned those giving support to criminals, saying they would be fished out and prosecuted.
The Commandant stressed that criminals in the state would have no hiding place, saying “we shall locate them and flush them out.” NAN
