National Security Uncovers 74 Locally Manufactured Guns At Kagara

A joint operation by security agencies under operation ‘Kundanlgou’, headed by National Security has led to the seizure of 73 locally manufactured long barrel guns and one locally manufactured pistol at Kagara in the Northern Region.

The team also confiscated 83 metal pipes, three hacksaw blades, two hammers, three G-clamps, three iron files and one grinding machine suspected to be used in the manufacturing process.

Four suspects – Mahamadu Fuseini, Mohammed Suraju, Yussif Iddrisu and Abdul-Somed Baba- are in custody.
