The Zamfara State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of 20 suspected bandits in the state.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson, made this known at a news conference in Gusau on Wednesday.
Ebrimson said the suspects were apprehended by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Special Tactical Squad in collaboration with the command at various locations in the state.
He said, “We will not disclose the locations where the bandits were arrested and their names and how the arms were recovered, due to security reasons.
“But based on the measures put in place, we are hoping to record more success in subsequent days.
“As we all know, the IGP Special Tactical Squad in collaboration with the state police command embarked on intelligence-led coordination and bush combing.
“The operation is still ongoing. What we recorded today is part of its achievements.”
