The Nigeria Police Force has arrested three more suspects in connection with the recent killings in Plateau State.

According to Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the arrest followed successful operations targeting criminal conspiracy, gunrunning, and unlawful possession of firearms strongly linked to earlier incidents in the state.

Adejobi said on May 3, 2025, at about 4:30pm, a team of IRT operatives acting on credible intelligence apprehended one Abubakar Jibrin from Kalone Community, Shendam LGA, Plateau State.

He said Jibrin was found to be in unlawful possession of prohibited firearms, adding that following his arrest, the suspect's confession led to the discovery of one SMG rifle with an empty magazine at his residence.

He said in another operation on May 4, 2025, in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, operatives recovered two fabricated revolver rifles linked to cartridges originating from a suspect identified as Ismail Danjuma, who is now in custody and assisting with the ongoing investigation on the killings on the Plateau.

"These recent operations demonstrate the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to diligently ensuring every person complicit in these condemnable killings is brought to justice and made to face the full wrath of the Law," he said.

"The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., urges members of the public to maintain calmness, continue providing crucial information and unalloyed support that can aid efforts of the NPF in restoring peace in these disturbed areas and other by parts of the country," Adejobi said.
