DSS arrests suspected gunrunner with 832 rounds of ammunition
The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday arrested Kelvin Ebikeniye Dugo, a suspected gunrunner, at Ivara Esu estate in Odukpani LGA of Cross River state.
Sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, that the arrest followed “credible intelligence” indicating that Dugo planned to purchase 832 rounds of live ammunition from Azenda Barnabas (alias Jagaban), another suspected gunrunner based in Aliade, Benue state.
“The operatives intercepted Dugo moments after he received the consignment, which was concealed in food items. Recovered [were] 832 rounds of ammunition and two empty AK-47 magazines,” Makama said.
