“Following this, on 20 August 2024, suspected gunrunners James Nuhu and Dan-Asabe Ango were apprehended in Wukari LGA.

“Both suspects admitted involvement in multiple crimes, identifying Ibrahim Philemon as their arms supplier. A subsequent operation at Philemon’s residence yielded a large cache of ammunition and weapons.

“Troops also arrested seven suspects along Road Chikai – Bantaji Market in Wukari, involved in kidnapping and cattle rustling, and confiscated illegal firearms.

In another operation, troops arrested Tiv Militia members Fidelis Nyitar and Isaiah Ioraa along Road Takum – Katsina Ala.

They were enroute to procure supplies for militia operations. On 21 August 2024, Mela Selim, a suspected Tiv Militia kingpin, was arrested for the murder of the Chief of Chanchangi.
