LAFIA (PRECISE POST) – The relentless onslaught against criminals in Nasarawa State has yielded another major breakthrough, as operatives of the Nigeria Police Force attached to Doma Division have arrested a dreaded armed robbery and kidnap kingpin, Mohammed Bammi a.k.a. “Zomo” (male), of Yelwa village, responsible for multiple kidnappings and robberies across Doma Local Government Area and its environs.
According to the statement released Sunday on the official X handle of the Nasarawa Police Command, the suspect, who narrowly escaped arrest last month when his gang members were apprehended, finally ran out of luck. During a clearance operation at Doka forest, eagle-eyed operatives spotted him.
In a desperate bid to evade capture, he pulled a knife to attack the officers but was swiftly overpowered and arrested.
Upon interrogation, Zomo led detectives to their hideout at Alagye village, Doma, where the following dangerous exhibits were recovered:
– One pump-action rifle (Breech No. P331551)
– One locally made AK-47 rifle with magazine
– Two live ammunition and five cartridges
– One knife and a rope
– Two Tecno
– handsets
– A pair of NSCDC uniforms
In a separate sting operation, based on credible intelligence, undercover operatives attached to Awe Area Command stormed Gidan Taku village, Wuse Chiefdom, Awe LGA, and arrested five suspected members of a notorious 10-man kidnapping syndicate
