The Scorpion Squad of the Nigeria Police has arrested a notorious armed robber linked to multiple home invasions and violent robberies across several states.

It was gathered that Sani and his gang terrorized victims using assault rifles and other dangerous weapons. One of their most heinous crimes occurred on October 15, 2024, when they invaded House No. 482, Ken Nnamani Street, Wuye, Abuja, at about 3:30 a.m., robbing: Mrs. Helen Ogbolu and Mr. Ojo Otobo, carting away: Two cars: A silver-colored 2017 Honda Accord (ABC 481 KH) and a maroon-colored Honda Accord (YAB 166 GB) Gold jewelry, laptops, and phones

The silver Honda Accord was earlier recovered, and three suspects were arrested, but the maroon Honda Accord remains missing.

During interrogation, Sani confessed that his gang comprised seven members armed with two AK-47 rifles and pistols. He identified his accomplices as Ibrahim, Ismail, Sadiq, Jabire, and Bala, who are still at large.

Efforts are in top gear to track down the fleeing suspects and recover their weapons, while the police continue their investigation.

Army troops intercept suspected drug dealers in Taraba

By: Zagazola Makama

The Nigerian Army Troops at Mutum Biyu in Taraba State, in collaboration with operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have intercepted a vehicle laden with drugs and military kits.

Zagazola Makama gathered that the operation followed credible intelligence from the NDLEA about a suspected Sienna vehicle, conveying three occupants.

On arrival at the checkpoint, the suspects attempted to evade interrogation as the driver zoomed off. Troops immediately opened fire on the vehicle’s tyres, forcing it to divert into the bush along Garba Shede road.

The occupants abandoned the vehicle and fled before troops arrived at the scene.

A search conducted on the abandoned vehicle led to the recovery of large quantities of codeine and other illicit substances. Also recovered were military kits, including two pairs of woodland camouflage uniforms, a pair of boots, an anklet, and two green berets.

The drugs and vehicle were handed over to the NDLEA, while the military kits remain in custody of the troops.

Military authorities said investigations were ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects
