The Special Intervention Squad of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command has killed three wanted bandits in a jungle in Abuja’s Bwari district.
The bandits were neutralised at 2 a.m. on Friday, January 26, in a forest linking Abuja to Kaduna State.
Among the three bandits murdered was their gang boss, Mai Gemu, also known as Godara, who, together with his gang members, had been terrorising the FCT and adjacent states.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, confirmed the news in Abuja on Friday during a parade of about 20 criminal suspects apprehended for various offences throughout the country.
According to Adejobi:
“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.
“The SIS, in the early hours of Friday neutralises 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.”
