    No fewer than 237 rapists and 36 murder and homicide suspects have been arrested in the last two months.

     

    Also, in the last two months, 113 victims of kidnapping have been rescued unhurt across the country .

    The Nigeria Police Force said this on Thursday, at the IRT Head­quarters, Guzape, Abuja.

    The Force Spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed that the police have arrested a total of 1,412 suspects for various violent crimes in­cluding 237 suspects for rape and defilement in the past two months across the country.

    Parading the suspects, on Thursday, at the IRT Head­quarters, Guzape, Abuja, Adejobi disclosed that 548 suspects were arrested for armed robbery, 242 for Kidnap­ping, 365 suspects for Murder and Homicide.

    According to Adejobi, these feats were achieved as a result of the Police ongoing efforts to combat crime and criminality and curb the proliferation of illegal weapons in the country.

    He said “the Force has recorded several notable breakthroughs in the past two months, resulting in the arrest of 1,412 Suspects for various violent crimes includ­ing 548 suspects for Armed Rob­bery, 242 suspects for Kidnap­ping, 365 suspects for Murder/ Homicide, and 237 suspects for Rape/Defilement.

    “Notably, 350 illicit firearms, and 4,055 ammunition of vari­ous calibers were equally recov­ered from across the country within the period under review, while 113 kidnap victims were rescued unhurt and re-united with their families.

    “Prominent amongst these breakthroughs was the arrest of one Yusuf Ismael Isah aged 32, a plumber from Okene, Kogi State, by gallant operatives of the Force.”

    Adejobi also disclosed that five suspects were apprehended in Abuja for Con­spiracy and Kidnapping.

    He said “the suspects – Emu Larry Chidiebere ‘m’ 34, Samuel Ba­logun ‘m’ 22, Williams Banjo ‘m’ 28, Babatunde Femi ‘m’ 30, and Nneka Opara ‘f’ 32, were arrested for kidnapping a for­eign national and obtaining a ransom of 2000 Dollars from his relatives.

    “The suspects held the vic­tim hostage in an apartment from May 30, 2023 to June 2, 2023. The suspects took pictures of the victim and forwarded the pictures and threat messag­es to the girlfriend of the victim in Zurich, who eventually sent them the sum of 2000 dollars via Western Union on June 1, 2023.”

    Speaking on the efforts in the South East, Adejobi re­vealed that the Police have sus­tained a continuous assault on the camps of some non-state actors in the region enforc­ing an illegal sit at home order particularly in Enugu, Imo, and Ebonyi States.

    He said “in Enugu, four suspects were neutralized following a gun duel with operatives of the Force on Friday 7th July, 2023 while one AK47 with 19 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, and 2 molotov cocktails were recov­ered.

    “In Ebonyi, 17 suspects were arrested following a raid on the hideout of secessionist agitators on 5th and 6th of July, 2023, while one locally made revolver, 2 vehicle number plates and 3 live ammunition were recovered. Similarly, in Imo, police operatives arrest­ed 26 hoodlums following the murder of a young man in their rampage, and success­fully recovered 5 firearms, 66 live ammunition and several other exhibits.”
