Woman Arrested With 148 Rounds of Ammunition Hidden in Palm Oil on her Way to Abuja
Keffi, Nasarawa State – Operatives of the Nasarawa State Police Command have intercepted a woman in possession of live ammunition concealed in a gallon of palm oil.
The suspect, identified as Hauwa Sani, was arrested in Keffi town on Saturday morning while traveling with a two-year-old child.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, officers attached to the Keffi Division recovered 124 rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition hidden inside the container of palm oil.
Keffi town is located just 33 kilometers about a 40-minute drive from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, raising security concerns about the possible destination and use of the dangerous weapons.
Police have since launched an investigation into the source of the ammunition and possible collaborators.
Residents have expressed relief over the arrest, praising security operatives for their vigilance.
“May God continue to expose them all,” said a concerned citizen.
