Their last operation was in Nasarawa Local Government of Nasarawa State, where they raided a student off campus hostel at the Federal
Polytechnic Nasarawa and abducted one of the students.
The community immediately put a distress call to the police and series of roadblocks were mounted.
The intensity of the stop and search by the police forced the fake
operatives to abandon their vehicle and victim.
One of the fake operatives was lynched by the angry mob before the police could intervene, he eventually died while receiving treatment.
The suspect confessed to the crime.
