Muyiwa Adejobi, the Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, said in a statement on Monday, June 2, 2025, that Kogi State Police Command officers had found five AK-47 rifles, eight AK-47 magazines, and 347 bullets of different calibers inside a car that a man had left behind during a police pursuit..CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
On Monday morning, Adejobi revealed this on his X handle, stating that the man, who was believed to be an armed robber, was being chased by the police after he refused to halt for a search on the road.
The Force PRO said that command officers stopped a space bus that was speeding through a security checkpoint. When the driver realized he was being followed, he got out of the bus and ran into a nearby bush. The crew followed the bus. When the officers arrived at the location where he had left the car, they searched it and apparently discovered weapons and ammo.

Adejobi wrote that: “A swift cordon and search was conducted on the spot, leading to the recovery of a substantial cache of arms and ammunition, which included five AK-47 rifles, eight AK-47 magazines, 283 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition, 62 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition and two rounds of 7.62x59mm ammunition.”
Additionally, he revealed that efforts are underway to capture the fugitive and other members of his gang after an initial investigation revealed a potential link to a recent armed robbery at a filling station in Kabba, a town in Kogi State, which is presently being investigated.
