“The operation led to the recovery of four AK-47 rifles, along with six magazines and 106 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, dealing a significant blow to armed elements operating within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the firearms, troops also seized two knives, ten machetes, and four rain boots, further highlighting the scale of preparedness of the suspects for criminal activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two suspected criminals were arrested during the operation and are currently in custody, undergoing preliminary investigation as security agencies work to unravel the network behind the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commending the troops for their professionalism and resilience, the Commander 63 Brigade, Brigadier General Moronfolu Abdulmoshood Shonibare, urged them to maintain the momentum in ongoing operations across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He reaffirmed the Brigade\u2019s commitment to denying criminal elements freedom of action and issued a stern warning to individuals or groups involved in illegal activities to desist or face decisive consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
