The Nigeria Police Force has arrested five suspects involved in trans-border gun-running.

According to the statement signed by its spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, the suspects were apprehended in Zamfara on November 18.

Upon arrest and search, the police said its operatives recovered 10 locally fabricated Ak-47 rifles, five Israeli Ak-47 rifles and one revolver pistol.

Other exhibits including one pump action rifle, 20 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, and a welding machine for the fabrication of rifles were recovered from the suspect.

“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD., NPM., has re-echoed his directive to operatives of the Force, particularly, tactical units, to mop up every illegal arms and ammunition, and see to the total dismantling of local manufacturers of illicit arms and ammunition and dangerous weapons by all means,” the statement read.
