Man Arrested While Attempting To Buy Ammunition For Bandits by adenigga(op): 10:37pm On Dec 10, 2025
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man, Ahmed Abubakar, for allegedly attempting to supply 1,000 rounds of ammunition to bandits in Zamfara State.

CP Miller G. Dantawaye, who disclosed this to newsmen at the Command Headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday, said the suspect was arrested on Monday around 3:30 p.m. by the command’s tactical team after acting on credible intelligence at Unguwar Dodo in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT.

He said preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had been in contact with an associate, identified as Yusuf Mohammed, and that Abubakar intended to procure 1,000 rounds of ammunition to transport to bandits in a forest in Zamfara.

“And our investigation further revealed that he was sent by his uncle, one Ahmed Yakubu who believed to be a key accomplice and currently at large, to purchase and transport the ammunition for criminal elements operating within their locality in Zamfara,” the CP said.

He said the suspect is currently in police custody, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing accomplice and dismantle the criminal network involved.

The police commissioner reiterated the command’s commitment to ridding the FCT and its environs of crime and ensuring the safety of residents.

He called on members of the public to continue supporting the police by reporting any suspicious activities through the command’s emergency lines: 0803 200 3913, 0806 158 1938, and 0902 222 2352.

Exactly the seller should be picked up as well and he should be quizzed properly to release vital information of everyone in the supply chain

Do you know how many they have kpai the way you suggested without letting you and the media to know?
And don't forget there is an amnesty international organisation in this country that usually rear their ugly heads and scream extra judicial killing when such actions are done by the police and the military

The government should make it legal for every Nigerian above 18 with clean records to also buy and own a gun for protection..

The time for self defense is now....

It’s insulting to arrest criminals and not post their pictures for the whole world to see

We see how other countries do theirs, they will post full details of the criminals and their pictures with deceptions
Re: Man Arrested While Attempting To Buy Ammunition For Bandits by mariovito(m): 12:15am On Dec 11, 2025
It's a world where many things dey happen

They're not mentioning the seller

Either he's an agent provocateur

Or a big name

Let the security men also ask the man to tell them where the hideouts and location of those bandits are .. and they can deploy fighter jets to attack and bomb those bandits in their hideouts and kill and wipe them out..this is a way of reducing the banditry and terrorism and insecurity.. not only to be deploying fighter jets to Benin republic and you abandon your own country that has banditry, terrorism and insecurity issues

The seller is probably a Christian so he wasn't mentioned.

Notice how the news of Bachama and Chobo christians who k! llled themselves mercilessly in Adamawa is not reported? That's how our media keeps reporting one side and leaving the order.

But guess what? The evil you cover today will visit you tomorrow. It's a fact not a threat.

You don't use the word "man" for such types of people, he's a "bandit" too.

Which market is selling ammunitions in Nigeria.

Re: Man Arrested While Attempting To Buy Ammunition For Bandits by Mikaliav: 2:59am On Dec 11, 2025
I am surprised it is not a Rev Father. They always send a Rev Father or a pastor . Since it is not a pastor the news is not trending
