In Plateau State, Nigeria, the Nigerian Army has apprehended a 30-year-old woman named Halima Ibrahim on suspicion of arms trafficking. The arrest occurred during a joint operation involving the Army, Operation ENDURING PEACE, local vigilantes, and hunters in the Bassa Local Government Area. The operation was initiated after the kidnapping of Dr. Abraham Owoicho on August 19, 2026.
According to the Army's statement, Halima was apprehended while trying to escape with two AK-47 rifles. A subsequent search of her residence in Kisayi B yielded an additional AK-47 rifle, a home-made firearm, a military cap, and three mobile phones. Preliminary investigations suggest that the recovered AK-47 rifle belonged to Halima's husband, Ibrahim. The suspect is currently under custody while authorities continue to investigate the origin of the weapons.
