**NSCDC Uncovers Bullet-Riddled Vehicle Linked to Minna Robbery**
In a recent breakthrough, operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger State have recovered a vehicle connected to a daring robbery incident in Minna. The incident, which occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, involved armed robbers who trailed a bank customer and stole over N10 million at a restaurant along Shiroro Road.
According to DSC Abubakar M.R, the spokesperson for the Niger State Command of the NSCDC, the vehicle was discovered abandoned along the Three Arms Zone Bypass in Minna on Saturday, March 7, 2026. Preliminary observations revealed that the vehicle was riddled with bullet holes and had visible traces of blood, suggesting that the suspects may have sustained injuries during the robbery or while attempting to escape.
The NSCDC operatives, who are part of the Operation Flush team, acted on credible intelligence and a tip-off from security personnel stationed within the Three Arms Zone. The team has secured the vehicle and is currently conducting preliminary investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify the perpetrators involved.
This development comes as a welcome relief to residents of Minna, who have been on high alert following the recent surge in armed robberies in the state. The NSCDC's swift response and collaboration with other security agencies are a testament to the corps' commitment to ensuring the safety and security of Nigerians.
As the investigation continues, the NSCDC is urging members of the public to provide any information that may aid in the apprehension of the suspects and bring them to justice. The people of Niger State can rest assured that the NSCDC is working tirelessly to restore peace and order in the state.
