Troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) have arrested a suspected gunrunner and recovered an AK-47 rifle with 15 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition during an intelligence-led operation at Gindiri Market in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the arrest followed detailed intelligence on the activities of a suspected arms dealer allegedly terrorising Gindiri town and its surrounding communities.
The troops of the OPEP Special Tactical Team subsequently conducted a sting operation at the market, leading to the arrest of the suspect, identified as Adamu Adamu, also known as Jauro.
A search conducted during the operation led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle and 15 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
The suspect and recovered items are currently in the custody of Operation Enduring Peace headquarters.
Sources said the suspect was undergoing interrogation. (Zagazola)
