A 24-year-old Sudanese national, identified as Mohammed Sale Mohammed, has been arrested in Plateau State after he was reportedly found wandering suspiciously in a bush in Mangu Local Government Area.
The suspect was apprehended on June 10, 2026, by a local farmer, Danjuma Watse, who reportedly noticed his unusual movements and alerted authorities.
Security sources told journalists that preliminary investigations revealed that Mohammed entered Nigeria through Libya and the Niger Republic before arriving in Plateau State.
During interrogation, the Sudanese national allegedly confessed that he was part of a four-man syndicate that crossed into Nigeria through irregular routes.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his presence in the area, as well as the activities and whereabouts of the other members of the group.
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun, said no fewer than 97 suspects have been arrested across the 18 local government areas of the state in the last two weeks, in a major crackdown on kidnapping, armed robbery, vehicle theft and other criminal activities.
The Commander of the Corps, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, who disclosed this while parading the suspects, said the operation led to the dismantling of several criminal syndicates responsible for insecurity in parts of the state.
Adetunji said that the suspects were arrested for various offences, including kidnapping, armed robbery, burglary, vehicle hijacking, theft and violations of the state’s anti-open grazing law.
According to Adeleye, some of those arrested had confessed to working as informants and suppliers for kidnappers operating in forests across the state, while others were identified as active members of kidnapping gangs. READ MORE
