Police Recover Firearms in Katsina
Our unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property of citizens of the state is yielding positive result. This fit was achieved as a result of robust community policing engagement through the process of dialogue, visibility policing, unrelenting and aggressive counter crime strategies.

I must as well commend the collective effort, support and cooperation of well meaning people in the state to the police.

RECOVERY OF PROHIBITED FIREARMS AND ARREST OF SUSPECTS: On 11/12/2019 at about 22:00hrs, information was received that the following suspected persons:
Alhaji Haruna Sani, m, aged 65yrs

Operation Puff Adder, led by O/C SARS Katsina swiftly swung into action, mobilized to the location and arrested the above named suspects. In the course of investigation suspects confessed to the crime and led policemen to the scene where two AK 47 rifles with breech numbers 406071 and 1413174 D60 were recovered.

Suspects confessed to have seized the firearms from suspected bandits that attacked their villages sometimes in the month of December, 2018 but refused to hand over the seized weapons to the police. Investigation is ongoing.
