KSVS Arrests Two Truck Robbers in Kogi After Gunfight

On October 23, 2026, two suspected truck robbers, Idris Muhammed (38) and Musa Muktar (33), were arrested by operatives from the Kogi State Vigilante Service (KSVS) at approximately 6:00 a.m. The arrest occurred after two weeks of intense intelligence gathering at the Zariagi Command.

During the operation, the suspects engaged the operatives in a gun duel while attempting to evacuate their loot using a tricycle. Other gang members managed to escape with bullet wounds.

Following their arrest, both suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime. Alhaji Ibrahim Usman Anataku, the Comptroller-General of KSVS, urged the public to report anyone with suspected bullet wounds to the nearest security formation.

He also appealed for actionable intelligence, assuring that the identities of informants would be kept confidential. Additionally, he commended Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for his support of the KSVS and praised his men for their vigilance.
