Sunday, November 16, 2025 - The operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested one Musa Abubakar suspected to be a key arms dealer linked to armed groups in Plateau State and other part of the north.
This followed a precise intelligence received by the DSS
which led to his arrest on November 12, 2025.
“The suspect
confessed to having manufactured and distributed high-caliber weapons and
ammunition to armed groups involved in violent attacks in Plateau State and
other northern regions," a DSS source stated.
His arrest
reportedly followed credible intelligence on activities of the suspect, which
led to a targeted raid on his arms manufacturing workshop located in the Mista
Ali area of Bassa Local Government Area.
“Abubakar
was apprehended red-handed with various Improvised Explosive Device (IED)
components, chemicals, and equipment, which have all been confiscated by DSS
operatives,” the source added.
This significant arrest comes shortly after the recapture of
Abdulazeez Obadaki, aka Bomboy, a Kuje Prison escapee who masterminded bank and
Deeperlife church attacks.
