Police dismantle illegal firearm-manufacturing network, arrest suspects
The police in Akwa Ibom State have dismantled a suspected illegal firearms fabrication syndicate and recovered a locally fabricated double-barrelled cartridge gun and equipment allegedly used in manufacturing weapons.
Police said further intelligence gathering led operatives to another suspect, Kufre Stephen, 35, from Nsit Atai Local Government Area, whom they identified as the suspected fabricator of the firearm.
The police said the operation also exposed an “illicit arms production network operating within the state,” while efforts were underway to arrest another suspect believed to have participated in the fabrication process.
