The operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested one Musa Abubakar suspected to be a key arms dealer linked to armed groups in Plateau State and other part of the north.
This followed a precise intelligence received by the DSS which led to his arrest on November 12, 2025.
“The suspect confessed to having manufactured and distributed high-caliber weapons and ammunition to armed groups involved in violent attacks in Plateau State and other northern regions," a DSS source stated.
His arrest reportedly followed credible intelligence on activities of the suspect, which led to a targeted raid on his arms manufacturing workshop located in the Mista Ali area of Bassa Local Government Area.
“Abubakar was apprehended red-handed with various Improvised Explosive Device (IED) components, chemicals, and equipment, which have all been confiscated by DSS operatives,” the source added.
