The Kaduna State Police Command said on Monday that it has arrested 18 armed robbers in connection with the bombing of a police station in Birnin Gwari local government area of the state.

The suspects were identified as those that have been terrorizing Birnin Gwari local government area and some other parts of the state.

The state police Commissioner, Olufemi Adenaike told Channels Television in an interview that some of the arrested armed robbers are immigrants from some African countries like Chad, Niger Republic and Cameroun, among them are those that specializes in stealing of cows belonging to Fulani herdsmen.

According to him, a joint operation by policemen and soldiers led to the arrest of the suspects in their hideouts inside the forest while temporary measures have been put in place to prevent armed robbers from terrorizing the town through the forest.

The commissioner also identified the topography in most local governments of the state as a contributing factor to the incessant killings witnessed in the southern part of the state and added that security agencies are winning the war against terrorism in the state.
