The Nigeria Police Force executed a successful operation on January 20, 2024, leading to the arrest of Bello Mohammed, a 28-year-old from Zamfara state, in Kaduna. Acting on intelligence, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Tafa Division orchestrated a raid on a hotel in Tafa Area, Kaduna, where Bello was apprehended. The suspect was found in possession of a substantial amount, totaling #2.25 million, believed to be proceeds from ransoms collected in the region.
Bello Mohammed, upon interrogation, confessed to being a member of the gang responsible for the kidnapping of Barrister Ariyo’s family members in Bwari, FCT, on January 2, 2024. Shockingly, he also admitted to participating in the gruesome murder of Nabeeha, the daughter of the legal practitioner, which occurred on January 13, 2024, at a kidnappers’ camp in Kaduna. During the arrest, Bello attempted to bribe the DPO with #1 million, an offer that was staunchly rejected, showcasing the dedication and integrity of the law enforcement officials involved.
IGP Commends DPO’s Integrity Amidst Attempted Bribery
The commendable integrity displayed by the Divisional Police Officer of Tafa, SP Idris Ibrahim, did not go unnoticed. The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, lauded the DPO for rejecting a tempting #1 million inducement from the apprehended suspect. The IGP emphasized the importance of such unwavering commitment to duty in maintaining the credibility of the police force.
The suspect, Bello Mohammed, who also revealed information about five neutralized bandits in Kaduna, led by Mai Gemu (aka Godara), had his criminal operations center dismantled during the operation. The IGP ordered the transfer of the suspect to the Directorate of Force Intelligence Response Team (DFI-IRT) in Abuja for discreet investigations. The promise was made to leave no stone unturned in bringing all responsible individuals for these heinous crimes to justice.
Nigeria Police Force Pledge to Decimate Criminal Activities, Ensure a Secure Society
As the investigation progresses, the Inspector-General of Police assured the public that the Nigeria Police Force is unwavering in its commitment to eradicating criminal activities. IGP Egbetokun reiterated the determination to create a more secure society for all Nigerians. Commending DPO SP Idris Ibrahim once again for his commitment and professionalism, the IGP expressed the resolve to relentlessly pursue those involved in criminal acts, reinforcing the message that justice will be served, and criminals will face the full force of the law. The arrest of Bello Mohammed and the destruction of the bandits’ camp mark significant strides in the ongoing battle against criminal elements in the country. .

In a commendable display of efficiency, the Nigeria Police Force successfully apprehended Bello Mohammed, a notorious kidnapper implicated in heinous crimes, including kidnapping and gruesome murder. The arrest took place in Kaduna, marking a significant victory in the relentless battle against criminal elements threatening the peace and security of the nation.
Bello Mohammed had been a menace to society, instilling fear in communities through his involvement in violent crimes. The Nigeria Police Force, acting on intelligence and employing strategic measures, managed to track down and detain him.

It is particularly commendable that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) overseeing the operation in Kaduna rejected a 1 million Naira inducement, demonstrating unwavering integrity in the face of corruption. Such principled actions by law enforcement officials contribute significantly to fostering public trust and dismantling the networks of criminal influence within the police force.
To sustain this momentum and discourage illicit activities, it is imperative to acknowledge the exemplary conduct of the Inspector who played a pivotal role in Bello Mohammed’s arrest.

In this case, the Inspector’s instrumental role in the successful operation deserves celebration and acknowledgment.
Recognizing the Inspector’s dedication and courage sends a powerful message to other officers, motivating them to emulate such exemplary behavior. Incentives and rewards for outstanding service can create a culture of excellence within the police force, fostering a sense of pride and commitment among law enforcement personnel.
Moreover, publicizing and celebrating these achievements not only boost the morale of the police force but also enhance the public’s perception of law enforcement. Positive stories of police officers upholding the law and demonstrating integrity contribute to rebuilding trust between the community and the police, ultimately creating a safer and more secure environment for all. It is, therefore, imperative that the Nigeria Police Force institutes a system of recognition and reward to encourage and inspire its officers in their continuous efforts to protect and serve the nation.
