How Security Retaliated Naval Officer’s De*th

Security officers have carried out what may pass a gallant performance in the Kawu area of Kaduna, storming criminals’ hideout and ‘smoking’ out about 27 of them.

This comes on the heels of a criminal stabbing a naval officer in the area.

The joint raid by the Kaduna State Police Command, military personnel, the Department of State Services (DSS), Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) and local vigilantes, also led to the seizure of weapons and hard drugs.

“We will not fold our arms and watch criminals disrupt public order,” Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, reacting to the incident said.

“Kaduna is a peaceful state and will remain so. Anyone with the intent to cause violence is advised to desist or leave.”

DSP Mansir Hassan, the Police Public Relations Officer, said those arrested for the naval officer’s death are undergoing a thorough investigation and will face prosecution, according to a statement he issued.

Kawo and surrounding neighbourhoods were targets of the raid and it yielded impressive results.

This is because aside the arrest of criminals, security personnel recovered a cache of dangerous weapons, including knives, axes, and cutlasses, as well as large quantities of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp and other hard drugs.

Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, described the operation as part of a broader effort to stamp out criminal elements who threaten the safety and peace of the state.

He emphasised the Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, warning that there would be no hiding place for those attempting to destabilise the state.

DSP Mansir Hassan, the Police Public Relations Officer, in a statement issued, said the arrested suspects are undergoing a thorough investigation and will face prosecution.
