“Recovered from him are two pump action guns, three locally-made singlebarrelled guns, one short locally-made double-barrelled gun, 75 live cartridges, assorted charms and the sum of N87,600.”
The PPRO said the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Federal Special Anti- Robbery Squad (FSARS) for discrete investigation with a view to tracking down other members of his group.
He said: “The CP therefore warned land grabbers to either leave the state or desist from their violent act because the command will deal decisively with anybody caught causing or intending to cause any form of violence in the state.”
