The Nigeria police of The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) command have arrested seven suspected cultists, armed robbers and kidnappers in Kabusa, Bwari, Kwali, Gwagwalada and Abaji axis of the territory.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the FCT, ASP Mariam Yusuf, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
She said the suspects were arrested in January during different coordinated intelligence operations.
Yusuf said exhibits recovered from the suspects are six locally-fabricated pistols, eight unexpended cartridges, one saw, one hammer, one cutlass and one jackknife.
She said two of the suspects were arrested over armed robbery and attempted kidnapping of their victim along Abaji axis.
Yusuf, who said the suspects would be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations, added that exhibits recovered from them would be tendered in court.
She enjoined FCT residents to remain calm, law-abiding and comply with all COVID-19 regulations, pledging the unflinching commitment of the command to the protection of the lives and property.
