Akwa Ibom Authorities Dismantle Father-Son Gun Manufacturing Operation
The Nigerian Police have successfully busted a gun factory in Akwa Ibom State, operated by a father and son duo.
The factory, which was allegedly used for the illegal manufacturing of firearms, was raided in a significant operation aimed at curbing the proliferation of illegal weapons in the region.
The police discovered various firearms and ammunition, which were being produced without any legal authorization.
The father and son, who are said to have been involved in the illicit arms trade for some time, were arrested during the operation.
Investigations are ongoing, and the authorities are working to trace the distribution networks that may have been involved in the sale and movement of these illegal weapons.
This bust is part of the Nigerian Police’s broader efforts to crack down on the production and distribution of illegal firearms, which have been a growing concern in the country due to their use in criminal activities and violence.
The authorities have stressed the importance of continued vigilance and cooperation from the public in tackling the spread of illegal arms.
