Army arrests three suspected gun runners in Zamfara, rescues six

Three suspected gun runners were arrested and six individuals were rescued by the Nigerian Army in Zamfara State. The arrests occurred on Sunday during a stop-and-search operation along the Kauran Namoda–Shinkafi Road. The suspects, aged 20, 18, and 60, were found with an AK-103-2 rifle, a magazine, and 30 rounds of ammunition hidden in a bag of millet in a Golf Wagon.

The younger suspects claimed the weapon was intended for delivery to a man named Tijjani Goguwa. The Army is investigating to locate the alleged owner. In a separate operation, troops rescued six people after a terrorist attack on a vehicle along the Anka–Gummi Main Supply Route.
