Militia Gang: Nigerian Army Arrests Suspected Members In Benue

Nigerian Army authorities have arrested two suspected members of a militia gang reported to be terrorising residents of Katsina-Ala and its environs in Benue state and its environs.

According to the Director Of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Texas Chukwu, in a statement on Tuesday, the army acted on a tip-off and recovered a locally made gun, one pistol and several rounds of ammunition.

Chukwu disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects are members of a notorious militia gang led by one Mr Gana, who is now at large.

However, efforts are being made to arrest other fleeing members of the gang.

The Army spokesperson then called on members of the public to always report suspicious activities in their areas to law enforcement agencies.
