Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Bauchi State Police Command has recovered firearms from hoodlums in the Mai-Ari-Arewa area of Alkaleri Local Government Area after a successful raid on black spots.<\/p>\n

A locally made revolver and ammunition were recovered from the hoodlums, who escaped into the bush with wounds after succumbing to the superior firepower of the police during a shootout.<\/p>\n

The spokesman of the Bauchi State Police Command, SP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, announced the recovery of firearms in a crime bulletin issued on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He detailed that the incident occurred on July 17, 2024, at around 4:30 am, when operatives of the command, led by the Divisional Police Officer in Alkaleri, CSP Mohammed B. Usman, conducted a raid along the Mai-Ari-Arewa axis.<\/p>\n

According to Wakil, the success followed a directive from the Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, Auwal Muhammad Musa, instructing all area commanders, divisional police officers, and other strategic tactical commanders to conduct regular raids on black spots across the state to bolster community confidence.<\/p>\n

He added that a combined effort is ongoing to eliminate unrepentant criminals disrupting the peace in the state, with intensified aggressive raids on criminal hideouts.<\/p>\n
