According to a statement released to journalists by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, the suspects were apprehended at various locations within the Bauchi metropolis.

Wakil explained that the arrests were carried out in enforcement of the command’s earlier warning to political party supporters—whether they backed the winners or the losers—not to engage in wild celebrations or hold rallies that could threaten law and order.

During the raids, operatives recovered thirty assorted dangerous weapons.
