Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) on Operation Hakorin Damisa IV, have uncovered a gun manufacturing factory in Kafanchan, Jema'a Local Government Area of Kaduna State and arrested a wanted gunrunner.
 
The Nigerian Army, in a statement on Friday, September 22, 2023, said the discovery of the factory followed a week long intelligence operation that finally led to the capture of the gunrunner identified as Napoleon John.

According to the statement, the suspect who confessed to the crime, led troops to the concealed factory where arms of different calibre were sold by another miscreant identified as Monday Dunia.
 
"In line with the Commander Operation SAFE HAVEN (OPSH) and General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 Armoured Division, Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar’s resolve to deal decisively with sponsors and perpetrators of crime as well as mopping up illegal weapons in OPSH Joint Operations Area, troops have uncovered a gun manufacturing factory in Kafanchan, Jema'a Local Government Area of Kaduna State," the statement read.
 
"The discovery followed a week long intelligence operations that finally led to the capture of a wanted gunrunner, Napoleon John who has been on the wanted list of OPSH
 
"The suspect who confessed to the crime led troops to a concealed factory where arms of different calibre were sold by another miscreant identified as Monday Dunia, who confessed to have been in the business for more than five years fueling the crisis in Kaduna and neighbouring Plateau States
 
"A thorough search of the factory led to the recovery of 22 different weapons to include 7 pistols, 2 locally fabricated AK 47 rifles, 2 military grade AK 47 rifles and 9 revolvers
 
"Others include one submachine gun, rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, machine tools and a gas cylinder. In a follow on operations by midnight of yesterday uptill early hours of today, 22 September 2023, troops raided another hideout in Adua 1 village in Kafanchan and captured additional 2 x AK-47 Rifles, 2 x revolver rifles, live rounds of 9mm and 7.62 ammunitions, 6 x dangerous daggers, one x hacker axe, several empty cases of 7.62mm special rounds, 2 mobile phones, one fragmental jacket, 2 Police uniforms, one military camouflage trousers, one ammunition magazine carrier, one pistol holster, one military grade camel pouch, one police combat helmet, 2 masks, 4 identity cards, gunpowder, shrapnels, charms and amulets. Also recovered were machine tools and other equipment. The major kingpin (name withheld) is still on the run but would soon be apprehended
 
"While commending troops for their doggedness and resilience, the GOC/ Commander OPSH also vowed to ensure all fleeing syndicate members were arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law. He warned sponsors and perpetrators of criminalities to immediately abandon their evil ways and embrace lawful means of livelihood
 
"General AE Abubakar also thanked the general public for their unwavering support in the fight against criminality and urged them not to relent in furnishing the troops with actionable information. He further assured to treat information provided with utmost secrecy and confidentiality
 
“Recall that the GOC/Commander OPSH issued a stern warning to criminals during a stakeholders’ engagement with traditional and religious leaders on 10 September 2023 held at Zangon Kataf.”

LoL ... they've been told severally but they say Hausa/Fulani, Muslims and El Rufai are their problems. Those that have heads know those fuelling the crisis in those regions...but as usual, Nigerians like living in denial.
