Tuesday, October 7, 2025 - The Sokoto State Police Command has arrested three suspected bandits, an informant, and a suspected drug supplier during a raid on a criminal hideout in Kware Local Government Area.
The operation, carried out by operatives of the
Anti-Kidnapping Unit on October 4, followed credible intelligence on the
activities of a five-man gang notorious for terrorising communities in Wamako
and Kware areas.
During the raid on the suspects’ camp in Sabon Birni, Kware
LGA, the police arrested one Bubale Mohammed and two others, along with an
informant and a suspected drug dealer said to have supplied the group with hard
drugs.
Items recovered from the hideout included dried leaves
suspected to be Indian hemp and various illicit drugs.
According to police sources, video clips retrieved from the
suspects’ phones showed them dressed in military uniforms and displaying rifles
inside their camp.
The command said efforts were ongoing to apprehend other
fleeing members of the gang, while the case has been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, for further investigation.
