The arrests of the top leaders in Abuja during the security operations between May and July 2025 have been described as a decisive blow to the command structure of the group responsible. The operation involved thorough intelligence-led efforts dismantling key operational leadership and sleeper cells, significantly disrupting their coordination and criminal activities.
Key figures apprehended were the coordinator of sleeper cells and the chief of staff, who were linked to orchestrating kidnappings, robberies, and other illegal activities across Nigeria and neighboring regions. Following the arrests, numerous captives held by the group were freed, and valuable evidence was seized to curb remaining networks.
The Nigerian government, alongside international partners, praised this success as a major step in enhancing the security situation in Abuja and beyond. The operation forms part of broader and ongoing efforts to tackle criminal threats and ensure safety for residents, including police-led initiatives targeting hotspots and criminal hideouts within the Federal Capital Territory.
Overall, these efforts in Abuja represent a significant stride in restoring peace and stability, achieving crucial disruption of criminal leadership and networks operating within the city and surrounding areas.
