By Emmanuel Kwada

The Adamawa State Police Command has achieved another milestone in its battle against crime with the arrest of Zephaniah Alfred, a 29-year-old suspected armed robber, in Zangun, Numan Local Government Area.

Already on the Command’s wanted list for terrorizing the Numan-Gombe Road and its environs, Alfred was apprehended following a complaint by Ibrahim Maikano, who reported receiving a death threat from the suspect.

Operatives from the Numan Divisional Police Headquarters, led by the Divisional Police Officer, swiftly executed a search warrant at Alfred’s residence.

The operation uncovered a cache of incriminating items, including a locally made pistol, AK-47 and pistol live rounds, a live cartridge, military camouflage uniforms, caps, T-shirts, and a black torchlight. All recovered items are now being treated as exhibits.

“We remain steadfast in ensuring the security of all Adamawa residents,” he affirmed.

Alfred will face prosecution upon completion of the investigation.
