Police in Benue State have arrested four individuals on suspicion of armed robbery in different parts of the state.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Ifeanyi Emenari, announced the arrests during a press briefing in Makurdi on Tuesday.
He also stated that the command rescued 11 trafficked children in the Katsina-Ala area who were being transported to Benin.
Emenari said the police recovered five vehicles from the robbery suspects after acting on intelligence, explaining that while the suspects were apprehended in Benue, some of the recovered vehicles were traced to both Benue and Plateau states.
Other items recovered include arms and ammunition allegedly used by the suspects for their crimes.
The police commissioner added that the command’s tactical units have countered several criminal activities in the past month, including bandit attacks, herder incursions, and kidnappings in Orokam and other parts of the state.
Emenari commended Governor Hyacinth Alia for his support to the police and pledged to continue collaborating with other security agencies to ensure a crime-free society.
He assured that the arrested suspects would be prosecuted after investigations are concluded.
