The Plateau State Police Command has arrested two suspects in separate operations, recovering three locally made firearms and live ammunition.
Police Public Relations Officer, Alfred Alabo, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, noting that the arrests were made by operatives of the Kaduna-Vom and Nassarawa Gwong Divisions as part of intensified efforts to combat crime across the state.
According to Alabo, the first arrest took place on August 4, 2025, when a patrol team from the Kaduna-Vom Division, during a stop-and-search operation, intercepted 24-year-old Mark Ibrahim Dalyop of Sabon Layi Kuru. He was allegedly found in possession of two locally made rifles while riding a motorcycle from Vom to Kuru.
“In another operation on August 11, 2025, operatives from the Nassarawa Gwong Division, acting on credible intelligence, arrested 26-year-old Moses Aliyu of Fwave Chiki Rayfield, Jos, in an uncompleted building at Kwanga. A search led to the recovery of a locally fabricated revolver pistol and one .9mm live ammunition,” the statement read.
The police spokesperson said both suspects are being investigated at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of inquiries.
He further quoted the Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Olugbemiga Adesina, as reaffirming the Command’s commitment to ridding the state of criminal elements. The CP warned those involved in crime to desist or leave the state, stressing that the police will not relent in ensuring offenders face justice.
