The Edo State Police Command has reported that four hunters from Kano State were stopped by members of the Edo Security Network upon entering the state, as they were found in possession of weapons and ammunition.

CSP Moses Joel Yamu, the command’s Public Relations Officer, issued a statement to correct false information spreading online, which claimed that four armed herdsmen were apprehended at a hotel and later turned over to the authorities.

The statement clarified that the individuals detained were hunters and not herdsmen, as was previously alleged.

The suspects were identified as Yusuf Abdulkarim, Mujaheed Garba, Shittu Idris, and Jamilu Habibu.

Among the items seized from them were three Dane guns, six spent cartridges, three partially used cartridges, four cutlasses, and two daggers.

“The Edo State Police Command is aware of misinformation circulating on social media that four herdsmen armed with guns were arrested at Americanus Hotel on Osemwenkhae Street, after Big Joe Motors, Ramat Park, Orogbeni Quarters, and handed over to the police.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that they are hunters, not herdsmen. They are from Doguwa in Kano State, heading to Uvbe community in Orhionwon Local Government Area of Edo State. Meanwhile, an investigation is ongoing.”
