Parading the suspects before journalists at the Headquarters Operation SAFE HAVEN in Jos, 29 September 2023, the Media Information Officer OPSH, Captain Oya James, said two of the suspects were arrested for the gruesome murder of Mrs Dorathy Jonathan at Afana village in Zango Kataf local government area of Kaduna State.

Speaking further, the Media Information Officer informed the journalists that following a weeklong intelligence operation, a wanted gunrunner Napoleon John was arrested. The arrested suspect led troops to a concealed factory where arms of different caliber were sold by another miscreant, Monday Dunia who confessed to have been in the business for more than five years fueling the crisis in Kaduna and neighboring Plateau States.

Another two suspects were arrested for their involvement in the killing of a herder following a reprisal attack by locals over the killing of a farmer at Gora town. While two suspects Hassan Mato and Ahmad Khalifa were arrested for attacking and burning Saint Raphael Catholic Church at Fadan Kamantan village in Zango Kataf LGA of Kaduna State, killing a seminarian Naaman Stephen Ngophe while Reverend Father Emmanuel Okolo and Noah Monday were rescued during the attack by troops.
