Operatives of the Kwara State Police Command have arrested four men and recovered a cache of illegal firearms during a routine stop-and-search operation along Sabongida Road.
The interception took place at about 8:45 a.m. on 11 December 2025 when officers from the Jebba Division stopped two suspects — Musa Mohammed and Musa Abdullahi, both from Saorami in Masegun Local Government Area of Niger State.
A search of their bag uncovered six locally fabricated AK-47 rifles, a pump-action gun, four live cartridges and one spent round.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the weapons were being transported to two men in Shonga.
Police subsequently arrested the alleged recipients, identified as Mohammad Umoru and Magin Isah.
All four suspects have been handed over to operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) deployed to Kwara State for further interrogation and continued investigation.
