The Kaduna police command says its operatives have arrested one Mohammed Giwa, the suspected killer of Muhammad Maisaka, a retired air force personnel.

On November 9 2021, gunmen killed Maisaka in his residence in Ragasi, Igabi LGA of Kaduna.

Maisaka’s “killer” is said to be among the 220 suspected terrorists and robbers paraded by the Kaduna police command on Wednesday.

Mohammed Jalige, the Kaduna police spokesperson, said the operatives recovered 18 AK-47 rifles, 2,000 live ammunition, 11 pump action guns, 10 locally fabricated pistols, 140 shotguns, 12-gauge cartridges, among other items.

“It is pertinent that we often have an interface with you to showcase our achievements in the fight against armed banditry, kidnapping and other sundry crimes to the public,” the police spokesperson said.

“These accomplishments are not without the assurances of your unalloyed support and commitment towards discharging our statutory responsibility.

“Thus, we seek a robust police public partnership in the continuous fight against criminal elements, as the quest of securing the society is everybody’s business.

“The command, during the period under review, is not unmindful of the security challenges bedevilling the state, amongst which are banditry, kidnappings, armed robbery and farmers/herders clashes, just to mention but a few.

“However, remarkable efforts were not spared in addressing the situation which culminates into the relative peace currently being enjoyed by law-abiding citizens in the state.”
