The police in Delta State has arrested Solomon Ebe for having 340 rounds of AK-47 live ammunition concealed inside a bag of garri.
The command spokesperson, Bright Edafe, said the suspect was apprehended on Friday by the patrol team of the Bomadi police division.
“On October 1, 2021, at about 7:30 a.m., policemen attached to Bomadi divisional patrol team while on stop-and-search duty at Bomadi-Tuomo Road intercepted a cyclist conveying one Ebe who carried a bag containing garri.
“The operatives, who were reasonably suspicious, decided to search the suspect and the bag.
“Upon searching the bag, 340 rounds of AK-47 live ammunition hidden inside the garri were recovered. The suspect was arrested while an investigation is ongoing,” he said.
Similarly, Mr Edafe said the command had also apprehended a female, Ejiro Efemijoghor, for having an English double barrel gun and 26 live cartridges.
She was arrested on Wednesday by operatives attached to the command’s Raider Squad.
