Some suspected cattle rustlers have been apprehended in Plateau state by the police.
The arrest was made by the Special Anti-robbery Squad of the Nigerian Police Force during a stop and search operation on the highway.
The arrest was disclosed to reporters by the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Adekunle Oladunjoye, during a briefing on the command’s activities in Jos.
Mr Oladujoye said that 504 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, four locally constructed AK47 butts and other incriminating items were found on the suspects during the operation.
He hinted that the Police also nabbed a syndicate known as ‘Sarasuka’, who specialised in molesting residents around the new stadium within the Jos metropolis.
The Police Commissioner appealed to the public to help complement the efforts of the security agents in combating crimes and criminal activities in the north-central state.
He asked them to help provide useful information on activities of criminal elements and their probable hideouts within their communities, in order to ensure guaranteed security of lives and property in the state
