POLICE ARREST TWO NOTORIOUS BANDITS/KIDNAPPING KINGPINS IN KWARA STATE, RECOVER ARMS, CASH, MOTORCYCLE

The the Nigeria Police Force has recorded a significant operational breakthrough with the arrest of two notorious bandits and kidnapping kingpins responsible for violent crimes across Katsina, Zamfara, Niger and Kwara States.

On Friday, 19th December, 2025, operatives of the Force Intelligence Department–Intelligence Response Team (FID–IRT), attached to Kwara State, in a covert operation carried out in collaboration with operatives of the Kwara State Police Command, intercepted and arrested two members of a dangerous banditry and kidnapping gang along the Komen–Masallaci axis in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The suspects arrested are Abubakar Usman, alias Siddi ‘m’ aged 26 and Shehu Mohammadu, alias Gide ‘m’ aged 30. Both suspects were arrested in Komen–Masallaci village, Kaiama LGA of Kwara State at the time of arrest.

During the operation, the following items were recovered from the suspects: one brand new Honda Ace 125 motorcycle, red in colour, valued at ₦1,850,000.00, which investigations revealed was purchased with proceeds of ransom payments; ₦500,000.00 cash, being unspent ransom money; one AK-47 rifle with a magazine loaded with 20 rounds of live ammunition.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects are members of a notorious banditry and kidnapping gang terrorising communities across Zamfara, Katsina, Niger and Kwara States. Further findings indicate that the gang also doubles as suppliers of arms and ammunition to criminal elements.

Both suspects are currently cooperating with investigators to enable the arrest of other members of the syndicate and recovery of additional weapons.

The Nigeria Police Force further recalls that one of the suspects, Abubakar Usman (alias Siddi), was recently identified as the individual seen in a viral video flaunting firearms and large sums of money on social media.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, commends the operatives involved for their professionalism and dedication, and reassures Nigerians of the Force’s unwavering commitment to dismantling criminal networks, combating banditry and kidnapping, and ensuring the safety and security of all citizens.

Meanwhile, members of the public are encouraged to continue to support the Police with timely and credible information to aid ongoing security operations.

This has never happened before that police track terrorist who flaunt money on social media even though they do it all the time on Tiktok
Is it the fear of Trump? What a Useless security agency we have all this years

May God continue to expose them

Gumi left the Whatsapp group

Do you know how many souls this ugly looking thing may have caused?

Arrest them and their sympathizers

So how did they tracked this one since Bosun useless interview of the govt not able to track terrorists? The fear of Donald Trump?

Meanwhile this imp should have been seen 6 feet under the ground with graphic pictures attached by now

Since the US announced their actions in Nigeria, our government suddenly knows how to arrest bandits from social media?

Modified: e be like say hand don touch hin cheek🤣🤣🤣. Who de beat buhari pikin?

I don't believe this at all. It seems like the Federal government could actually track and apprehend these criminals all the while but some how, they DELIBERATELY REFUSED to apprehend them, All for political gains. The lives of Nigerians really doesn't mean much as long as political gains are involved. Thank you president Trump for hearing our cry

Why is he still breathing? I like anything that peppers nairaland terrorists.

Nice o. More to be arrested

Nigerian police is one of the best in the world. Kudos to NPF

LordIsaac:

You don't understand, we pardon your ignorance. How do you shoot at sight when the situation could be the case of stop and search and not a case of shootout?
If they shoot at sight and it turns out that they killed innocent people, Nigerians would call for their heads. Would you be there for their families while they are locked up awaiting trial?

Bandit richer than all your family damnnn

LordIsaac:

Don't worry!

Having retrieved a lot of intelligence from him, he mush be shot on sight "while trying to escape".
