    According to him, 36 years old Bunmi Samuel was arrested along with her boyfriend who specialised in snatching GSM Phones from innocent commuters.

    “After snatching phones, he removes the SIM cards and sells the phone then hands over the SIM cards to his girlfriend one Bunmi Samuel.

    “The girlfriend on her part makes withdrawals of all monies from the accounts that are linked to the SIM cards.

    “The police operatives have so far recovered 76 SIM cards, two Opay ATM cards and a golden wrist watch from the suspects,” he said.

    He said that the police operatives in collaboration  with the vigilante also arrested five suspects namely, Bernard Francis, Felix Benjami, Peter Benjamin, Helen Sylvester, and Hamza Haruna over alleged involvement in kidnapping of a minor.

    According to him, police also arrested  26 years old Kennedy Esezobor of Tudun Wada village, Lugbe, FCT a notorious criminal and cultist with one fabricated single barrel gun and locally fabricated AK-47 rifle

    He said  the operatives of the Anti-kidnapping unit of the Command acting on actionable intelligence stormed Kabin Mongoro Forest and arrested one Mohammed Hamza while on his way to bandits camp bordering Nasarawa State.

    “The suspect confessed to being an informant, a drug and food supplier to one Dogo,” he said.

    According to him, the  command in a swift operation has between Aug.30 and Aug. 31, impounded six vehicles bearing both foreign and local plate numbers or with foreign number plates at the back and Nigeria number plate in front of the vehicle.

    “Effort is currently ongoing to trace the rightful owners of the recovered vehicles,” he said.

    “In a similar development, the operatives of anti-violence crime, while on patrol, arrested the duo of Gabriel Oliver and Emmanuel Ishaku.

    “In the course of investigation, they confessed that they carried out attacks in a Redeemed Christian Church of God Bethel Centre, Galadimawa, Abuja and carted away several high definition electronic gadgets properties of the Church.

    “The suspect led the police operatives to Bauchi and Plateau  respectively,  where the items were recovered. Effort is being made to arrest the co-accomplice who are on the run,” he said.
