The release said, the police acted on credible intelligence, and operatives of the CP Special Assignment (CP SAT) team of the command, between the hours of 0630hrs and 0910hrs on 20th April, 2026, in collaboration with members of Ughelli Kingdom Vigilantes, carried out coordinated operations at various locations within Ughelli metropolis, leading to the arrest of the suspects.
The suspects are Surajo Atar, 25 years, male, a native of Bigal Village in Gada LGA of Sokoto State; Abba Musa, 24 years, male, a native of Madara Village in Danbatta LGA of Kano State; and Babangida Yusuf, 25 years, male, a native of Hamdullahi Village in Albasu LGA of Kano State.

Items recovered from the suspects at the point of arrest include a cutlass and a black mask believed to have been used in perpetrating their criminal activities.
