…recover illicit arms, ammunition

By Nkechi Eze

As part of living up to its mandate in ensuring the safety and security of Nigerians, the Nigeria Police Force has made significant strides thanks to its proactive and intelligence-driven strategies. According to recent reports, the Force has successfully disrupted criminal networks, leading to a notable decrease in organized and violent crime incidents.

This achievement is a testament to the Force’s efforts to evolve and improve its strategies in combatting crime and criminality. The results have been impressive, with a visible enhancement of the overall security situation in the country.

On the 1st of November 2024, operatives of the FID-IRT arrested one Ogaga Dickson, a 35-year-old male and member of a notorious armed robbery gang. Dickson’s gang was responsible for the death of CSP Hassan Jega, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Agbarho Division in Delta State. CSP Jega was killed during a fierce gun battle on October 14, 2024, after his team foiled one of the gang’s robbery operations. 

Prior to Dickson’s arrest, the police had stormed the gang’s hideout and neutralized four of its members in a shootout. Upon Dickson’s arrest, the police recovered a cache of weapons and vehicles, including: One AK-47 rifle, one English pistol, one locally made pistol, ammunition of various calibers and six exotic vehicles

On the 1st of November 2024, operatives of the FID-IRT arrested one Ogaga Dickson ‘m’ 35 years, a member of a notorious armed robbery syndicate responsible for the death of CSP Hassan Jega, the DPO Agbarho Division, Delta State, who was killed on the 14th of October 2024, during a fierce gun battle between a team of police officers led by the deceased DPO and the assailants, after the team of police men had foiled one of their robbery operations. The operatives had earlier stormed the gang’s den and engaged them in a fierce gun duel leading to the neutralization of 4 of the gang members. Upon Ogaga’s arrest, the police recovered one Ak 47 rifle, one English pistol, one locally made pistol, ammunition of various calibers and six exotic vehicles. 

Similarly, police operatives apprehended a child-trafficking syndicate led by one Pastor Dayo Bernard ‘m’ of End Time Army Ministry, Bukuru, Plateau State on the 2nd of December 2024. The operation led to the rescue of five children between the ages of 2-4, abducted from various homes in Jos, Plateau State, and the arrest of other members of the syndicate identified as Rita Agboeze ‘f’, Victoria Ugwu ‘f’, Nanman Puntel ‘f’, and Peter Ukwuani ‘m’. Upon interrogation, the principal suspect confessed to having abducted and sold 13 children at varying prices, all of whom have been recovered by the police and reunited with their families through the Plateau State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development. 

In a significant boost to national security, operatives of the FID-IRT have recovered 14 AK-47 rifles, this is in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s (IGP) directive to rid the country of illicit arms and ammunition.

This achievement underscores the Nigeria Police Force commitment to dismantling criminal networks and ensuring public safety.
