Arms Factory Busted in Plateau: Army Seizes Sophisticated Weapons, Arrests Two

The Nigerian Army’s Operation Enduring Peace uncovered and raided a clandestine arms workshop in Gwandanu Village, Plateau State. Troops arrested two suspects on Wednesday during the fabrication of sophisticated firearms. Investigators recovered two AK-47 rifles, one G3 rifle and the industrial tools used in production. Equipment seized included generators, a welding machine, a drilling machine, a hand filler and a full technical toolbox. In a separate operation in Kaduna State, troops deployed with Forest Guards intercepted attackers who ambushed vigilante personnel. One suspect was arrested after fleeing into the bush, and an AK-47, an AK-49, a motorcycle and other items were recovered. The arrested individuals are in custody pending further investigation. Troops have intensified mop-up operations to track down any remaining locally fabricated weapons and disrupt the wider criminal network.
