NDLEA Arrests Arms Dealers Selling Ammunition For N500
Two suspects dealing in arms and ammunition, Dung Rwang and Dachollum Yohanna, have been arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency with 1,360 rounds of live ammunition.
The suspects were arrested by operatives of the Bauchi State Command of the NDLEA on patrol along the Bauchi-Jos Road.
Punch Metro learnt that the suspects had boarded a commercial car from Numa, Adamawa State, and were heading for Jos, Plateau State, where they wanted to sell the ammunition, including one AK-47 magazine.
The weapons were reportedly concealed in sacks and kept in the boot of the vehicle.
The spokesperson for the anti-narcotic agency, Jonah Achema, said in a statement on Wednesday that the suspects, who were among the seven passengers in the car, owned up to the crime.
Achema stated that the suspects confessed that they had been into illegal arms dealing for some time, selling a piece of ammunition “for N500 only.”
The Bauchi State Commander, NDLEA, Segun Oke, said the suspects and the exhibits would be handed over to the state police command for further investigation.
