The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ebonyi State Command, has dismantled several suspected criminal hideouts along the Ebonyi–Benue border in Izzi Local Government Area, recovering firearms, ammunition and other dangerous items during a coordinated security operation.

The operation, which followed credible intelligence on criminal activities within the border communities, was conducted by operatives of the NSCDC Intelligence and Investigation Department in collaboration with the Commandant’s Special Squad.

The command disclosed that the exercise targeted identified locations suspected to be used by criminal elements for their activities.

The Ebonyi State Command Public Relations Officer, DSC Emmanuella Obianuju Ibeneme, announced the development in a statement issued on Sunday.

According to Ibeneme, the intelligence-led operation resulted in the recovery of several weapons and items believed to be associated with criminal activities.

“Acting on the intelligence, the operatives launched a coordinated sting operation at different locations within the locality, leading to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, one double magazine, four rounds of live ammunition, five knives, assorted criminal charms, one locally made pistol and one pump-action gun,” the statement said.

The command described the operation as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen security around vulnerable border communities and prevent criminal elements from using the area as a safe haven.

The Ebonyi–Benue border communities have remained important security locations because of the need for effective surveillance and cooperation among security agencies to prevent cross-border criminal activities.

The NSCDC said the operation demonstrated its commitment to intelligence gathering, proactive security measures and the protection of lives and property across Ebonyi State.

The State Commandant, CC Francis Chika Nnadi, JP, commended the operatives involved in the exercise for their professionalism and dedication to duty.

Nnadi also issued a stern warning to individuals and groups planning to engage in criminal activities or disrupt the peace of the state, declaring that the command would not tolerate actions capable of threatening public safety.

He urged residents to remain vigilant and provide security agencies with credible information that could assist in identifying criminal hideouts and preventing attacks.

The command further encouraged members of the public to cooperate with security personnel by reporting suspicious movements and activities within their communities.

It maintained that intelligence-driven operations would continue across the state as part of efforts to dismantle criminal networks and strengthen security.

The NSCDC did not disclose whether suspects were arrested during the operation or provide further details about the ownership of the recovered weapons.
