Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS have arrested a suspected gunrunner identified as Kelvin Ebikeniye Dugo, after 850 rounds of live ammunition was found on him.
The suspect was apprehended on Monday at Ivara Esu Estate in Odukpani Local Government Area, shortly after taking delivery of the consignment.
Security sources say the ammunition was allegedly supplied by another suspected gunrunner, Azenda Barnabas, also known as Jagaban, based in Aliade, Benue State.
The items were concealed in food supplies, with two empty AK-47 magazines also recovered.
The DSS says the operation is part of sustained nationwide efforts to dismantle arms trafficking networks and curb the spread of illegal weapons.
