He said operatives of the command arrested the suspects at Balkari village, Kala’a ward in Hong Local Government Area of the state.
The spokesman said the police had recovered two pump action guns, 11 live Cartridges, handcuffs, a leg chain and jackets from the suspects.
“The command, on April 2, apprehended a syndicate of two impersonating personnel of NDLEA at Balkari village in Hong LGA.
“The suspects, Abdulrazaq Bindow, 29, and Ismaila Alim, 27, arrived in the village wearing NDLEA Jackets making the villagers believe that they were from the agency.
“The suspects apprehended and handcuffed one Amos Daniel, Kwada Fitagu and Gambo Zira before the villagers raised the alarm and alerted the police, who immediately responded and effected their arrest,” he said.
According to him, preliminary investigation reveals that the suspects are Adamawa Hunters’ Association members.
