Nigerian authorities have arrested five Pakistani nationals during an intelligence operation in the Benue State, according to local media. The suspects were detained after intelligence operatives identified them as individuals involved in illicit activities. The operation, conducted by the police, resulted in the recovery of 35 mobile phones, which are believed to be linked to the suspects' alleged criminal activities.
The arrested individuals are currently in police custody for further investigation. Officials have not yet disclosed the exact nature of the alleged offenses, but sources indicate that the operation was part of a broader effort to combat transnational crimes. The recovery of the phones suggests that the suspects may have been engaged in activities such as smuggling or cybercrime.
The Nigerian police have confirmed the operation took place in a rural area of Benue State, though no specific location was provided. The case highlights ongoing efforts by Nigerian law enforcement to address cross-border criminal networks. (dailypost.ng)
