Fulani herdsmen arrested with vehicles loaded with guns in Abuja
Troops of the Nigerian Army said they have arrested about five suspected Fulani armed robbers in the Kuje area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with two vehicles containing locally made guns.
It was gathered that the suspects were nabbed by troops of 176 Battalion, Gwagwalada, during a stop and search operation at the entrance of Kuje Area council on Thursday inside two Golf cars with the weapons, after credible intelligence was given to the troops on duty.
A source told Saharareporters that the suspects were still undergoing interrogation after which they would be handed over to the police for prosecution.
“The Fulani men were rounded up by troops of 176 Battalion during the routine stop-and-search in the Kuje area. They hid several locally made weapons inside their Golf car. Some of the residents of the area provided intelligence to the military.
“They are still being quizzed on how they got their weapons, where they were heading and what other crimes they had committed,” the source explained.
