Operatives of the Special Intervention Squad, Federal Capital Territory Police Command, successfully neutralized three notorious bandits in a forest within the Bwari area of Abuja. The development was disclosed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, during the parade of approximately 20 criminal suspects apprehended for various offenses across the country.
The encounter took place in the early hours of Friday, January 26, around 2 am, in a forest that connects Abuja to Kaduna State. The slain bandits, including their gang leader Mai Gemu, popularly known as Godara, had been responsible for terrorizing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and neighboring states.
Adejobi highlighted the significant achievement in fortifying the security landscape in the FCT, attributing it to the recent launch of the Special Intervention Squad under the command of the Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun.
“We’ve recorded another significant stride towards fortifying the security landscape in the Federal Capital Territory following the recent launch of the Special Intervention Squad under the command of the Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun,” stated Adejobi.
He further explained, “The SIS, in the early hours of Friday, neutralizes one of the most wanted kidnap kingpins, Mai Gemu aka Godara and two other members of his gang in an exchange of gunfire in the Bwari area of Abuja in a forest linking Abuja with Kaduna State.”
