“During investigation, a number of recoveries were made which included four AK47 rifles, three revolver pistols, two pump action guns and 2,800 railway slippers.

Other items are nine motor vehicles of different brands, two tricycles, 209 rounds of AK47 live ammunition, 129 rustled cattle, night sheep and two bags of Indian hemp.

“You will agree with me that the need to create an enabling environment for business and farming activities to succeed in Kaduna state and the country at large cannot be overemphasised.

‘The noticeable peace and tranquillity currently enjoyed in state is a pointer to the fact that the command is leaving no stone unturned in its quest to protect the lives and properties of the good people of Kaduna state.

“As we speak, a lot of security measures have been initiated and strategised systematically with a view to achieving better results and ensuring that the fight against criminals and criminalities in the state is tangibly achieved,” he said.

According to him, it is against this background that the command re-emphasised the need for members of the public to eschew violence of any kind and to promptly report suspicious cases of criminalities within their domains.

“Without shielding any one for whatever reason for possible arrest and prosecution without which the good effort of the command highlighted above will be frustrated,” he stated.

Jalige said the Commissioner of Police, Kaduna Command, Mr Musa Garba, has ordered for a thorough and comprehensive investigation of these cases with a view to unmasking others involved to face the full wrath of the law on completion of investigation.

He assured that the command shall continue to be resilient in its determination to ensure that criminal elements are denied the space to conduct their nefarious activities.

“Members of the public are advised to be wary of their environment and not to hesitate to volunteer information and render support to security agencies at all times or via the Police Command’s Emergency numbers being: 08075391105 and 07039675856,” Jalige said.
