    The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says its commitment to strengthening national security is yielding results.

    In a statement issued on Sunday, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, force spokesperson, said officers recently carried out a series of operations across the country resulting in the arrest of a suspect concealing firearm and live ammunition in a transistor radio.

    Adejobi said the officers of the Lagos police command arrested the suspect identified as Wisdom Obi at the Abule-Ado axis of the state.

    He said the 24-year-old suspect was riding an unregistered motorcycle when he was stopped during routine checks.

    “Upon searching the suspect, a brownie pistol along with 13 rounds of live ammunition was discovered concealed within an MP3 radio. The suspect was taken into custody, with the motorcycle and recovered items documented as exhibits, while investigation continues,” the statement reads.

    In a separate operation on the same day, a team from the Orile Iganmu division apprehended four alleged traffic robbers identified as Kadir Ibrahim, Ifeanyi John, Oduwole Shola, and Rilwan Olajuwon.

    The suspects were intercepted while attempting to rob passengers of a broken-down vehicle at the Ascon White Sand area in Orile Iganmu.

    The police urged citizens to be wary of “the cunning schemes of traffic robbers who blend in as innocent traffic traders”.

    “These efforts reflect the determination to create a safer environment for all citizens while reinforcing public trust in the security apparatus. The recent successful operations carried out by Police operatives across the nation serve as a testament to this ongoing dedication to protect the lives and property of all residents in the country,” he said.

    “The Nigeria Police Force uses this medium to caution citizens against violent confrontations and encourage those offended to seek proper redress through stipulated legal procedures. Citizens must avoid taking the law into their hands.”

    Adejobi assured Nigerians of the commitment of the police to ensuring their safety and security.

    He added that the police is working to combat crime while upholding the fundamental principles of justice.
