Africa-Press – Nigeria. Security officers from the Department of State Services have arrested a man described as a notorious bandit during a sudden operation in Bojinji Village near Bauchi.
The team also recovered millions of naira and several rounds of ammunition.
According to sources who spoke with Zagazola Makama, the suspect had moved to Bauchi from Zamfara, claiming he was running from persecution.
He settled in the village with his family. Bauchi often receives people escaping violence from nearby states, but security officials say some criminals use this movement to hide their activities.
The raid was carried out without warning and left many residents shocked. A security source explained that “the DSS traced the suspect’s illicit wealth and movements before executing the operation.”
Investigations showed that the suspect was well-known in the area for living extravagantly. He reportedly spent most of his time drinking at Unguwar Yelwan Angas and buying alcohol for others.
However, no one suspected him of any crime until the DSS moved in.
Security officials are calling on residents to help by reporting anyone whose lifestyle seems suspicious or far beyond their means.
They say this kind of vigilance can help prevent crime and expose hidden criminal networks.
Sources also confirmed that investigations are still ongoing to find out how far the suspect’s activities reached and whether he had any accomplices in the state.
