Kaduna State Police command said, on the 18th July, 2023 at about 2205hrs, operatives of the Command while on routine patrol along Hukunyi -Danja Road, a boundary between Kaduna and Katsina states sighted two persons riding a motorcycle in a very suspicious manner.
He said the situation prompted the patrol team to give them a hot pursuit and on sensing danger they immediately ran into the nearby forest to avoid being apprehended and as a result their luggage fell off the bike.
According to the command’s spokesperson DSP Mohammed Jalige in a statement he issued, when the said luggage was searched two AK47 rifles loaded with 30 rounds of live ammunition each were recovered.
He said in a bid to ensure that the hoodlums are not giving any room to operate, the patrol combed the entire area throughout the night in order to guarantee the safety of the road users and the adjoining communities.
DSP Jalige said the commissioner of police has commended the officers for their dedication to duty and charged them not to relent in ensuring his policing strategy is successful.
