Plateau State police command yesterday said it has recovered N13 million worth of property from criminals within the last two months.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Emmanuel Ayeni, who disclosed this while briefing journalists at the command’s headquarters in Jos yesterday also, said that “a total of 20 arms of different sizes, 220 ammunition, some empty shells of ammunition and 20 cartridges were also recovered.
He said most of the property consists of stolen cars, motorcycles, laptops, Blackberry and other accessories.
The recovered vehicles, according to him, include a Toyota Avensus car valued at N7 million, a Volkswagen Jeep valued at N3 million, an ash Setring Convertible with registration number ET 885 APP, a black Toyota RAV4 without a registration number, a gold Toyota Camry car with registration number AA 850 MBD, a Toyota Matrix with registration number AE 10 SHR and a Toyota Sienna with registration number KJA 318 AR.
Ayeni added that while some of the items have been reclaimed by their owners, others are still in the custody of the police.
The police boss also used the opportunity to warn residents against illegal blasting of rocks with the use of explosives, saying such action threatens the peace of the state.
He said if such action is to be carried out, it should be done with the approval of the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in the state and the supervision of the police antibomb squad,” adding that “those patronising such unpatriotic blasters will henceforth be held liable for such illegality and be dealt with according to the law.”
