Police Bust Notorious Kidnap Kingpins, Armed Gangs in Nasarawa

The Nasarawa State Police Command has recorded a major breakthrough in its fight against violent crime with the arrest of some of the most feared kidnap and armed robbery kingpins operating in the state.

According to the Command, the arrests followed a series of coordinated operations carried out in identified criminal hideouts across the state. The suspects, who have long been on the police wanted list, are alleged to be behind several high-profile cases of abductions, armed robberies, and violent attacks that have unsettled communities in Nasarawa.

Police authorities disclosed that weapons, ammunition, and other dangerous exhibits were recovered during the raids. The Command further assured residents that the suspects will be prosecuted and that efforts are ongoing to dismantle the remaining criminal networks across the state.

The Commissioner of Police reiterated the Command’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property, urging citizens to remain vigilant and continue to provide useful information that would help security agencies in their operations.

This development has been welcomed by local communities, who expressed relief over the arrests and called for sustained efforts to rid the state of violent crime.
