Operatives of the Nasarawa State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) have arrested a notorious criminal suspect, identified as Abashe Gizo, at Shinge Market in Lafia, the state capital.
According to a statement released by SP. Ramhan Nansel, the command’s spokesperson, the arrest followed an intelligence-led operation based on credible and actionable information.
Nansel stated that Gizo, a male of no fixed address, had been on the police wanted list for a prolonged period over his alleged involvement in kidnapping, armed robbery, and cattle rustling across the region.
According to police authorities, the suspect was successfully apprehended on Wednesday after a sustained manhunt.
During interrogation, Gizo reportedly confessed to his involvement in several criminal activities and subsequently led investigators to his hideout in Ruwan Baka village, located in Doma Local Government Area.
