According to the command spokesperson, DSP Muhammed Jalige, in a statement on Thursday, said the success was sequel to sustained onslaught against banditry and other criminal elements in the State by the operatives of the Special Tactical Squad Force Headquarters, Abuja (STS) in conjunction with Operation Yaki of the State Command on June 15, 2022 at about 0650hrs while on the trail of suspected bandits intercepted their target along Saminaka–Jos expressway.

He said they were arrested in a Sharon vehicle, blue in colour and driven by one James Dawi, aged 31-yrs old of Vom town in Jos South LGA of Plateau State.

He said the suspected bandits on sensing an unavoidable danger posed in their way to deliver some dangerous weapons to their cohorts, immediately engaged the operatives in gunfire sporadically.
