Police operatives in Nasarawa State have arrested a 21-year-old woman suspected of trafficking arms to terrorists operating in volatile local government areas of the state.

The suspect, identified as Fatima Salisu from Funtua in Katsina State, was intercepted in the Azuba area of Lafia while allegedly transporting a large cache of ammunition intended for delivery to criminal elements in Katsina through Keana and Doma Local Government Areas.

Police said the arrest was based on credible intelligence received by the Command.

“Acting swiftly on the intelligence tip-off, Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima J. Mohammed, ordered the immediate deployment of the Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit,” the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ramhan Nansel, told journalists on Thursday in Lafia, the state capital.

The operation resulted in the arrest of the suspect and the recovery of 400 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition and 81 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition.

Salisu is currently in custody and undergoing interrogation as investigators work to dismantle the arms trafficking network and trace its links to armed banditry and terrorism.

The police described the arrest as a significant milestone in the ongoing effort to combat illegal arms proliferation and criminal activities in the region.

The command also reaffirmed its commitment to ridding the state of crime and called on members of the public to continue assisting security agencies with timely and credible information.
