Sixteen suspects terrorizing Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and other parts of the country have been paraded by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) today Saturday, January 20.

Two of the suspects Idris Isiaku and Dahiru Salihu, were arrested by men of the IGP Intelligence Response Team (IRT), after the launching of the Special Intervention Squad (SIS) by the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, to wipe out terrorists in the FCT.

The suspects who said they have been in Bwari and working as farmers and security guards, say they use the opportunity as security guards to monitor the activities of residents, especially the rich ones, and report to their colleagues in the bush before carrying out the kidnapping.

The suspects also revealed that they get paid after such operations.

Parading the suspects in Abuja, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the arrest of the suspects comes in response to the pressing need for enhanced security measures in the nation’s capital.

Recall that since late last year, several cases of kidnapping and killings have been recorded in the FCT, especially in the Bwari community.

Adejobi said the launch of the Special Intervention Squad (SIS) by the Inspector–General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun at the Force Headquarters comprising highly trained personnel equipped with advanced technology and resources of the force also made it possible for the suspects to arrest the suspect in their various hideouts.

The Force PRO said ammunition of all kinds and valuables were recovered during the operations.

Parading the suspects, the force public relations officer Olumiyiwa Adejobi, advised members of the public especially landlords and caretakers to be wary of who they employ as security guards.
