Plateau Troops Nab Ex-Police Inspector Carrying Weapons for Terrorists
Troops of Operation Enduring Peace arrested former inspector Danjuma Yusuf during an intelligence-led operation in Plateau State. He was intercepted at a checkpoint in Makera while travelling in a white Peugeot. A search of the vehicle recovered two locally made pistols, 167 rounds of 9mm ammunition, three cans of pepper spray, a jackknife, cutlasses, police tags, mobile phones, ATM cards, a NIN slip and ₦73,300 in cash. Yusuf, dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force, is suspected to be a key figure in an interstate arms trafficking network supplying terrorists, bandits and kidnappers. He remains in military custody as investigations continue. The army says this success highlights its resolve to curb illegal weapons proliferation. Members of the public are urged to share credible information to help dismantle criminal networks.
