Police seize truckload of ammunition

The police yesterday intercepted a truckload of ammunition carefully concealed in bags of charcoal.

The suspected owners of the ammunition were paraded yesterday by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, “D” Department (Investigations), Mr. Israel Ajao, at the headquarters of the Federal Anti-robbery Squad (SARS), Adeniji Adele, Lagos.
One of the suspects, a 53-year-old man, who allegedly travelled to Ghana for the transaction told reporters during the parade that the ammunition was purchased in Ghana for N6 million. When police further searched the charcoal bags loaded in the truck, an English Berretta pistol was also found.
He said it was his second trip to Ghana for the same transaction and that he had made N6 million profit after he had sold the ammunition to his ready buyers whom he claimed were vigilante groups and private security outfits.
He claimed that he concealed the weapons inside charcoal bags in order to beat the customs checkpoints.
