KOGI STATE POLICE COMMAND PRESS RELEASE

UPDATE ON THE DEATH OF ONE MUHAMMED KASSIM AKA ENEMI OF IDAH, KOGI STATE. A SUSPECT ON POLICE WANTED LIST ALLEGED OF CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY, UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF PROHIBITED FIRE ARMS / GUN RUNNING AND BELONGING TO UNLAWFUL SOCIETY (CULTISM )

The Nigeria Police Force, Kogi State Command wish to set the records straight on the unverified report being circulated on Social Media on the death of one Muhammed kassim aka Enemi of Idah, Kogi state.The Suspect, now deceased was being alleged of belonging to member of a syndicate that deals in arms and ammunition running within and outside Kogi State. The case is under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Lokoja.

Following a legal intercept from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Abuja which indicted one Mohammed Amedu as a member of a Syndicate that deals in arms and ammunitions running within and outside Kogi State and the eventual arrest of one of the principal suspects by the DSS Operatives on 22nd June, 2025. The case was later handed over to the Kogi State Police Command on 28th June, 2025 for further investigation. The suspect confessed to the alleged crime and mentioned the said Muhammad Kashim aka Enemi of Idah town in Idah Local Government Area, Kogi state and others as members of the arms running syndicate.

Investigation revealed that the late suspect, Muhammad Kashim aka Enemi was alleged to have purchased 20 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunitions to test run an AK47 rifle in his possession from Mohammed Amedu, now in custody. Further investigation led to the arrest of additional five suspected members of the syndicate, while two locally made Beretta Pistols have been recovered.

Consequently on this indictment on the late suspect, Muhammad Kashim aka Enemi, operatives attached to State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) were mobilised to Idah on 7th July, 2025 to invite him to report and answer the criminal offences leveled against him by members of his syndicate . This was to enable the Police investigation Team carry out discreet and thorough investigation into the case. But Muhammad Kashim aka Enemi jumped the fence of his house and escaped arrest when he sighted the Police Team. Based on his refusal to honour Police invitation and escape, the Operatives from Idah Police Division were mandated to lay surveillance and arrest him when seen.

Furtherance to this, on receipt of credible information at Idah Division that Muhammad Kashim aka Enemi, now late was sighted in a particular location at Idah, the Operatives immediately swung into action to arrest him, but he vigorously resisted Police arrest because he was in the midst of other young men suspected to be his gang members. But for the numbers of the Operatives who doubled their efforts to arrest him, Muhammad Kashim aka Enemi then took to his heels and was given a hot chase.

To aid his escape, his gang members started attacking the Police Operatives with cutlasses, stones and other dangerous weapons which gave him the courage to stop and get hold of one of the Police officers’ rifle and began to struggle with him, in an attempt to disarm him and snatch the rifle, while his gang members continued their attack on the Police officers. In the process, the rifle they were dragging got fired and hit the suspect on his leg while his gang members immediately rescued him from the Police and whisked him away with the bullet wound on his leg to unknown location where he later died in the hands of his gang members.

Meanwhile, investigation into the case is still in progress and all suspects arrested in Connection with the alleged crime will be arraigned in a competent court of jurisdiction for prosecution on completion of Investigation.
