Police seize illegal firearms, arrest four suspects

Police in Kwara State have intercepted a cache of illegal firearms and arrested four individuals during a routine stop-and-search operation along Sabongida Road.

The operation, carried out on December 11, 2025, at about 8:45 a.m., involved operatives from the Jebba Division, who apprehended Musa Mohammed and Musa Abdullahi, both residents of Saorami, Masegun LGA in Niger State.

The suspects were found with six locally made AK-47 rifles, a pump-action gun, four cartridges, and an expended AK-47 round concealed inside a bag.

Further investigation revealed that the firearms were intended for delivery to two other suspects, Mohammad Umoru and Magin Isah of Shonga, who were also arrested.

All four suspects have been handed over to the IRT operatives on special duties in Kwara State for further investigation.
