According to security sources, the suspect was apprehended during a routine intelligence-led operation aimed at curbing the illegal flow of arms in the region. Upon searching the individual, operatives discovered a total of 832 rounds of ammunition hidden inside packaged food, along with two empty AK-47 magazines.
The method of concealment, officials noted, highlights the increasingly sophisticated tactics being employed by arms traffickers to evade detection. The suspect is currently in custody and is assisting authorities with ongoing investigations to uncover possible accomplices and the intended destination of the weapons.
The DSS reaffirmed its commitment to tackling illegal arms proliferation and warned individuals involved in such activities to desist or face the full weight of the law. Authorities also urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious movements within their communities.
