Police disrupt KillSec ransomware, arrest suspected teenage leader
European police said raids against the KillSec ransomware-as-a-service operation included the arrest of a high-profile teen suspect.
On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the Adamawa State Police Command apprehended two suspected gunrunners and seized a firearm from their possession. The arrest took place when operatives of the State Intelligence Department received intelligence and tracked the suspects to Cham, a community located in Gombe State. SP Suleiman Nguroje, the Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, announced the development on Thursday.
According to Nguroje, the suspects were apprehended while engaged in the illegal trade of firearms. The two individuals, Commander Barde, who is 54 years old and hails from Zakawon Village in Guyuk Local Government Area, and Abdullahi Musa, 51, from Ga’anda in Gombi Local Government Area, Adamawa State, were found in possession of and dealing in firearms.
Nguroje disclosed that one locally fabricated Dane gun was recovered from the suspects. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects had a history of involvement in illegal arms dealing, as they confessed it was not their first transaction.
