Furthermore, the suspects were allegedly involved in some kidnap operations and attacks that took place along some major highways.
Below is the statement released by the Kaduna State police command:
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the arrested suspects were actively involved in the recent attack and attempted kidnap of the Emir of Potiskum that resulted in the gruesome killing of the Emir’s Police escorts.
“They were also involved in several other kidnap operations and terror attacks on commuters and other innocent citizens along some major highways, especially in the North-West and North Central States of the country.
The report also went on to state that some common citizens help them with information that aids their criminal activities.
The statement continued saying, “Unfortunately, investigations also reveal that some citizens, especially those within the business community, give tacit support to the terror groups by deliberately doing businesses with them through the supply of essential goods, drugs (licit/illicit) and other services.
“To this end, the IGP calls for patriotism amongst the people, noting that this is the only way the fight against the criminal elements can truly be won,” it added.
