The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested 32-year-old Anas Dauda from Jalingo B area, Lamorde Ward, Mubi South LGA, following a viral video in which he displayed an AK-47 rifle and issued threats.
Police spokesperson Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje stated that Dauda was seen with the rifle loaded with three magazines, making alarming remarks and offering to sell or lease the weapon.
The video sparked widespread panic on social media, prompting Commissioner of Police Dankombo Morris to order the Mubi South DPO to locate and apprehend the suspect.
"Police operatives swiftly acted on the directive and apprehended Dauda at a remote location in Mubi town," the statement said.
Dauda remains in custody as investigations continue to recover the firearm and trace its origin.
CP Morris has transferred the case to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (State CID) in Yola for discreet probing and prosecution.
The CP reaffirmed the command's dedication to peace and security, warning against actions that endanger public safety or violate the law.
