The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has uncovered a suspected illegal firearms factory in Sabon Garin Kangin, Kaduna State, and arrested its alleged owner.
The discovery followed an operation by NDLEA operatives, who recovered finished firearms and materials suspected to be used in manufacturing additional weapons.
The agency’s director of media and advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed the development in a narcotics-related update shared on Sunday.
The agency said Sagiru Musa, 45, was identified as the owner of the factory where items were recovered.
The items include locally made guns, two pistols, 25 Dane pipes and other materials used in manufacturing firearms.
Mr Babafemi said the operation led to the seizure of the firearms and other production materials, while the suspected owner was taken into custody.
