GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the operatives of the Nasarawa State Police Command have intercepted two suspected arms traffickers transporting a large cache of high-grade firearms and ammunition from Benue to Kwara State.
It was gathered that the suspects were apprehended in the early hours of Wednesday following actionable intelligence.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Nasarawa Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ranham Nansel.
The statement read, “On June 4, 2025, at about 03:09 hours, acting on credible, actionable intelligence, the Command intercepted two suspected gun runners traveling through Lafia in possession of a large cache of high-grade firearms and ammunition en route to Ilorin, Kwara State.”
Nansel said that the anti-kidnapping unit swiftly launched an operation leading to the arrest of two men: Dahiru Abdullahi, a 75-year-old native of Funtua in Katsina State, and Lawal Sani, a 40-year-old commuter driver from Makwalla, also in Katsina State.
Items recovered from the suspects include one General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), three AK-47 rifles, one TAB 06 rifle, 1086 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition, 20 rounds of 7.62 NATO calibre ammunition, four empty magazines, and a Toyota Hiace bus used for transport.
Nansel explained that the suspect “confessed to being paid N500,000 to transport the weapons from Benue to Kwara State – a transaction that could have armed multiple criminal networks.”
He added that a full-scale investigation has commenced to uncover the actors behind the arms transaction, while those arrested have been taken into custody.
