“The thugs were promptly confronted by the police. However, they later regrouped and attacked police officers with dangerous weapons, including stones. The attack was professionally repelled by the operatives. The hoodlums then fled to Farm Centre Market, where they attempted to break into shops and loot property.
“Reinforcement was swiftly mobilised to the scene. The thugs were further dispersed and six suspects were arrested. Normalcy has since been restored to the affected areas,” the statement said.
The Command lauded its officers for their swift response and warned that it would not tolerate any form of thuggery, ‘Yan Daba activities, or disturbance of public peace in the state.
The statement urged parents to caution their children against thuggery, adding that anyone found fomenting trouble will be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.
