The Adamawa State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested nine suspects following a targeted raid on hideouts in Mubi and its surrounding areas.
The operation specifically focused on identified black spots within the Mubi metropolitan area known for illicit activities.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Command on Wednesday, indicating that the operation was carried out earlier on Monday, May 4.
“At the conclusion of the raid, a total of nine suspects were apprehended. Items recovered from the suspects include dangerous weapons—such as a firearm and knives—as well as illicit drugs and other controlled substances,” the statement explained.
Signed by the NSCDC State Command Public Relations Officer, DSC Nyako Amidu Baba, the statement said all arrested suspects have been transferred to the Command Headquarters in Yola, where they are undergoing profiling and investigation.
“This operation was conducted in direct and prompt fulfillment of the Executive Security Directive of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, who mandated an immediate and comprehensive raid on all identified black spots within Mubi metropolis and its surrounding environs,” Baba stated.
He added that the state commandant of the NSCDC, Idris Dahiru Bande, acted on the governor’s directive by mobilising and deploying a team of specially trained operatives who executed the operation.
