The Guards Brigade of the Nigerian Army has arrested a 72-year-old man for operating four gun factories in Suleja Niger State and the Federal Capital Territory. The Public Relations Officer of the Brigade, Capt. Charles Ekeocha, told journalists on Tuesday in Suleja, Niger State that three of the factories were in the Federal Capital Territory while one was located in Suleja.
He said while initial investigations revealed that three of the factories were in Gwagwalada and Bwari local areas of the FCT, the Suleja factory was discovered during a cordon and search operation in Paiko and Kache in Niger State. Ekeocha said that the illegal gun dealer would be handed over to the State Security Service for further interrogation and prosecution.
