Police recovered an array of illegal weapons, including AK-47 rifles, sub-machine guns, fabricated firearms, and large quantities of drugs. Five notorious gunrunners were also apprehended, highlighting the command’s efforts to curb criminal activities.

In separate operations, suspects were arrested in Igabi, Jos North, and Kasuwan Magani for illegal arms fabrication and distribution. Items seized included fabricated rifles, pistols, magazines, and other paraphernalia linked to criminal networks.
