Operatives of the Kogi State Vigilante Service (KSVS), Zariagi Command, have arrested two suspected members of a criminal syndicate allegedly specialising in the robbery of heavy-duty trucks and construction company materials.
The suspects, identified as Idris Muhammed, 38, and Musa Muktar, 33, were arrested on October 23, at about 6:00 a.m., following a two-week intelligence-gathering operation.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the KSVS Public Relations Officer, Idris S. Idris, the suspects and their accomplices allegedly engaged the operatives in a gun duel while attempting to evacuate their suspected stolen items with a tricycle.
The statement disclosed that some members of the gang escaped during the encounter with gunshot wounds, while the two arrested suspects had reportedly confessed to the crime.
The Comptroller-General of the KSVS, Alhaji Ibrahim Usman Anataku, who was personally involved in the intelligence operation, commended the operatives for their vigilance and commitment, which led to the successful arrest.
Anataku also praised Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, for his continued support and encouragement, which he said had contributed to the operational successes of the service.
