The Nigeria Forest Security Service says its operatives provided critical support to the police to apprehend the armed robbery suspects in Abuja.
Mr Metchie said the forest had remained one of the most vulnerable and ungoverned spaces in Nigeria.
Mr Metchie said the people are volunteers and want to help in fighting crimes in their different communities.
He called for the financing of the activities of hunters and forest security services.
The hunters’ deputy boss also urged parents to spend more time with their children and wards to ensure a better society.
