On May 3, 2025, acting on credible intelligence, Police operatives attached to the Benue State command engaged in a gun battle with a group of bandits suspected to be from Shitele and Ukum, who were holding secret meetings at Sankera, planning attacks against security operatives in the area.

Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said during the fierce gun duel near Tse-Gondo axis, three bandits sustained fatal gunshot injuries and were later confirmed dead at the hospital.

The operatives recovered several exhibits from the scene, including two locally fabricated guns and some live cartridges.

Similarly, operatives of the Delta State Command’s Commissioner of Police Special Assignment Team arrested one Henry Okpor, a serial car snatcher, on April 22, 2025.

The Force PRO said a pump-action gun, a Toyota Highlander (Reg. No. RBC-414-BL), and a Hyundai car (Reg. No. LSD-367-DU), believed to be stolen, were recovered from him.

Also, on April 25, 2025, a sting operation by the CP Special Assignment team led to the apprehension of Mudiaga Okparume and Arinze Humble, confirmed members of the Vikings Confraternity.

The operatives recovered two Beretta pistols and five rounds of live ammunition.

Furthermore, in a swift response to a kidnapping incident reported on April 26, 2025, where two persons in Agbarho were kidnapped, operatives of the State Command mobilised and trailed the suspects to Uvwiama forest in the Ughelli North LGA, where the operatives successfully rescued the two victims during an intense operation.

Nine suspects were also apprehended, and a cache of weapons was recovered, including three pump-action guns, three double/single-barrel guns, one locally made gun, and thirteen rounds of live cartridges.

ACP Adejobi said the successful Police operations were a testament to the dedication and proactive measures taken by the Nigeria Police Force to combat violent crimes nationwide.
