“During the patrol, the team flagged down a Lexus Jeep with Registration Number KUJ 886 FF. On sighting the police, two unidentified young men came down from the jeep and took to their heels into the nearby forest.

“While searching the vehicle, the team recovered one AK 47 rifle loaded with 8 No of 8mm ammunition; one locally made long range pistol, one cartridge, four different vehicle number plates, Zenith and Access Banks ATM cards, National Drivers’ License card, black coloured clothes, bags containing substances suspected to be Indian hemp and a torchlight.”

ASP John added that the team, with the assistance of the village youth combed the forest in search of the fleeing suspects “but no arrest has been made so far,” adding, “The team is not resting on its oars as it is determined to fetch the suspects and whoever is their sponsors and accomplices.

The Command then appealed to residents of the community and State to be vigilant and report suspicious and unknown movements to the Police for outright action.
