The Department of State Services (DSS) in Kano State have arrested a young man identified as Abubakar Muhammad over alleged arms trafficking in Gezawa Local Government Area of the state.
Reports indicate that Abubakar Muhammad was arrested in possession of three AK-47 rifles and two rifle magazines following an intelligence-led operation carried out by security operatives.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is an indigene of Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger State. He was reportedly intercepted while transporting the weapons to Funtua in Katsina State.
Speaking after his arrest, Abubakar Muhammad said he received the weapons from an individual in Maigatari, Jigawa State. According to him, he was instructed to deliver the rifles and magazines to a person in Funtua.
He stated that he had picked up the weapons in Maigatari and was on his way to Katsina State when DSS operatives intercepted and arrested him in Gezawa.
Security sources disclosed that the arrest was made possible through credible intelligence gathered by the agency, which enabled operatives to track the suspect’s movements and apprehend him before reaching his destination. The firearms and magazines were recovered intact during the operation.
The DSS said investigations are ongoing to identify those who supplied the weapons, the intended recipients, and whether any criminal network is involved in the trafficking of arms across northern Nigeria.
Investigators are also working to uncover the routes and methods used in transporting the weapons from their source to their intended destination, with a view to dismantling any wider arms trafficking operation.
Abubakar Muhammad remains in custody as security agencies continue their investigation. Appropriate legal action is expected to follow upon the conclusion of the investigation and subject to the outcome of the findings.
