The Plateau State Police Command has seized a significant cache of ammunition, which authorities believe was intended for use by criminal elements to harm innocent citizens and destroy property. State Commissioner of Police, CP Emmanuel Adesina, revealed that the successful recovery was part of the Command’s ongoing efforts to uphold law and order, reduce crime, and promote peace across Plateau. He stated, “This time, we have successfully recovered a large cache of ammunition intended for use by criminal elements to harm innocent citizens and destroy property unjustifiably. Please permit me to present the details of this recent accomplishment.”
“On the 4th of May, 2025, at approximately 9:40 pm, acting on credible intelligence, our operatives raided a criminal hideout along Bauchi Road in the Jos North Local Government Area. During the operation, an abandoned ash-coloured Golf Wagon with registration number JJN 812 AH was recovered. A thorough search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 500 rounds of 7.65mm ammunition.”
He further mentioned, “It is important to recall that a case of culpable homicide was reported on the 3rd of May, 2025, where an unidentified individual was tragically killed. In response, we swiftly initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death.”Adesina emphasized that the recovery was made as part of that investigation and assured that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the perpetrators and recover their operational weapons.
He urged the public to assist by providing any relevant information that could help in the investigation, adding, “The Plateau State Police Command remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting lives and property and maintaining peace and order across the State. We are dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all residents.”
