He added that “in yet another remarkable achievement, the command has arrested seven suspected cultists, seized illegal firearms, and recovered suspicious substance believed to be blood.”

He explained that the  operation, conducted on April 6, was initiated based on intelligence gathered from a reliable source.

He said that the state Commissioner of Police, Ali Audu, has commended

the cooperation and vigilance of the community in providing crucial information that led to the successful operation.

He reiterated the command’s commitment to rooting out criminal elements and ensuring the safety and security of residents in the state.

Hassan further said efforts were currently underway to apprehend the remaining suspects who fled.
