Major Bust: Kidnapping and Armed Robbery Ring Dismantled in Borno
The Borno State Police Command recently apprehended six individuals suspected of being involved in a syndicate responsible for kidnapping, armed robbery, and extortion.
The arrests came after an intelligence-led operation targeting the group, which had allegedly been operating in the region, terrorizing local residents and extorting money through threats and abductions.
The police recovered weapons and other items believed to have been used in their criminal activities.
This crackdown is part of ongoing efforts by Borno’s law enforcement to tackle violent crime and improve public safety.
The suspects are now in custody and will face charges, with authorities aiming to dismantle similar criminal networks operating in the area.
