🚨 Major Arms Seizure in Anambra: Troops Intercept Truck with Over 164,000 Live Ammunition In a significant security operation, Nigerian troops have intercepted a truck loaded with over 164,000 live ammunition in Anambra State. The operation, which took place on July 15, 2023, was a result of actionable intelligence and vigilant efforts by the Nigerian Army. Troops of the 192 Battalion Nigerian Army, operating within the 81 Division Area of Responsibility, conducted a stop-and-search operation along the Ajilete-Owode Road in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State. During the operation, they uncovered a truck with registration number ENU 697 XY, which was loaded with 720 packets of Red Star Cartridges (12 Calibre), each containing 25 cartridges, totaling 18,000 cartridges. 250 packets of live (black) cartridges, each containing 10 packets, totaling 2,500 cartridges. The ammunition was cleverly concealed in a truck that appeared empty, highlighting the sophistication of the smuggling attempt. Two individuals were arrested in connection with the illicit shipment: Eric Seworvor, a Ghanaian national. Lukman Sani, the Nigerian driver of the truck. Preliminary investigations revealed that the ammunition was imported from Mali through the Idiroko International Border. The suspects had successfully evaded several checkpoints en route to their final destination in Onitsha, Anambra State, where they intended to deliver the illegal cargo. The timely intervention by the Nigerian Army prevented what could have been a catastrophic security breach. The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, commended the troops for their dedication and urged them to continue their efforts in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians. This operation underscores the ongoing challenges posed by illegal arms trafficking and the commitment of Nigerian security forces to combat such threats. #AnambraArmsSeizure #NigerianArmy #SecurityOperation #IllegalAmmunition
