The arrests were made during intensified intelligence-led operations and stop-and-search activities across key flashpoints in Jos and nearby communities, according to security sources.

During the operations, security personnel intercepted the individuals at strategic points and recovered weapons alongside other incriminating materials.

The development follows growing concern over sporadic killings and the discovery of bodies in remote areas, which have heightened anxiety among residents.
