Plateau: Police Arrest Graduate With 4 Locally-Made Riffles, Ammunition
The Plateau State Police Command has arrested a graduate with 4 locally-made riffles, with four locally-fabricated riffles and 40mm ammunition.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Bartholomew Onyeka, stated this while parading the suspect and some others on Wednesday in Jos while on a stop-and-search operation on Jos-Pankshin road.
Onyeka said the police have commenced investigations, adding that in the process, four locally-fabricated riffles were recovered from his house.
He said that the command also arrested some other suspects over alleged kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and cult activities, among other crimes.
The suspect, however, told newsmen that he manufactured the riffles for his personal use.
”I’m a hunter and I give herbal medicine to people. Because I visit the bush regularly, I produced the guns for my hunting and self-protection,” he said.
