The Kaduna State Police Command says it has arrested 25 suspects involved in violent attacks on government agencies.
The Command’s Spokesman, ASP Mansir Hassan, disclosed the arrests on Monday, noting that some of the apprehended individuals are members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN).
Among the items recovered from the suspects were an AK-47 rifle, live ammunition, a jackknife, and a police camouflage uniform. Some of the arrested individuals were found in possession of these items, raising concerns about the extent of the planned violence.
The arrests come amid heightened tensions and protests in Kaduna, which have seen a series of violent incidents targeting government buildings and officials. The police say they have stepped up efforts to maintain order and prevent further destruction of public property.
ASP Hassan emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and warned against any actions that could exacerbate the situation. He urged the public to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement officers, assuring them that the police are committed to safeguarding lives and property.
The suspects are currently in police custody, and investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of their involvement in the attacks. The Kaduna State Police Command reiterated its dedication to bringing all culprits to justice and ensuring the safety of all residents.
