Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have successfully dislodged a high target arms supply network linked to terrorist activities in Plateau and neighboring states, The Nation has gathered.
The operation led to the arrest of Musa Abubakar, a key arms dealer, following precise intelligence on November 12.
“The suspect confessed to having manufactured and distributed high-caliber weapons and ammunition to armed groups involved in violent attacks in Plateau State and other northern regions,” a security source told The Nation.
Musa Abubakar’s arrest reportedly followed credible intelligence on the activities of the suspect, which led to a targeted raid on his arms manufacturing workshop in the Mista Ali area of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Before the raid, DSS operatives had conducted extensive surveillance on Abubakar’s residence and workshop to gather critical intelligence.
“Abubakar was apprehended red-handed with various Improvised Explosive Device (IED) components, chemicals, and equipment, which have all been confiscated by DSS operatives,” the source said.
This significant arrest comes shortly after the recapture of Abdulazeez Obadaki (aka Bomboy), a Kuje Prison escapee who reportedly masterminded Owo and Deeper Life Church attacks.
These recent operational successes recorded by the DSS show its commitment to combating terrorism and enhancing national security.
The DSS arrested a total of nine high-profile suspects involved in the Plateau and Benue attacks.
