The Anambra State Police Command has successfully apprehended two suspects and seized a significant amount of gunpowder concealed in bags of garri, along with a locally-made pistol and live ammunition. This operation highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat illegal arms and explosives in the region.
Details of the Operation
The arrests were made during an intelligence-driven patrol conducted by a police-led Joint Security Force in the Aguata area. The operation was initiated based on credible information regarding suspicious activities in the area.
Discovery of Gunpowder
During the patrol, officers intercepted a suspect carrying three bags of garri. Upon inspection, police operatives discovered a concealed stash of gunpowder hidden beneath the edible grains. This alarming find raised immediate concerns regarding the intended use of the gunpowder, particularly in relation to potential criminal activities.
Intent and Investigations
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect was on his way to deliver the groceries and gunpowder to a criminal camp, where it was presumably intended for the production of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The arrested individual is currently in police custody, where he is assisting with further investigations to identify and apprehend other members of the criminal gang.
General Impact
This operation underscores the Anambra State Police Command’s commitment to maintaining security and preventing criminal activities within the state. The discovery of gunpowder in such a manner poses significant risks, and the police continue to investigate the broader implications of this case to ensure community safety.
