Plateau State Police Command has recovered various brands of cars worth over N15m.
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris
Olakpe, on Tuesday said the command also arrested about 29 suspects for
various crimes in different parts of the state.
He said one of the suspects was a fake army officer.
Addressing journalists on the
breakthrough his men had recorded over the last few months, the
commissioner explained that Toyota and Honda brands were among cars
recovered.
Olakpe said, “Weapons, such as AK 47
rifles, AK magazines, locally-made pistols, grenade, live ammunition and
cartridges were also recovered from the suspects. The cars recovered
are worth N15m.”
The commissioner said the suspects were
arrested with the assistance of some members of the public who gave the
police some useful information.
He reiterated the commitment of the
police to rid the state of undesirable elements, while commending
residents for the peaceful atmosphere that the state had enjoyed in the
last few months.
Olakpe urged the general public to
continue to cooperate with law enforcement officers to keep the state
safe from miscreants and those who would want to throw it into
confusion.
The commissioner said, “That we have not
heard of killings in the last few months is an indication that we have
resolved to live in peace and I want to assure you that we will not
relax until we rid the state of undesirable elements.”
The fake soldier, who gave his name as
Chijioke Oboh, said the uniform was given to him by an army officer, who
is now late. He said he had never used the uniform for any ulterior
motive.
