Gunpowder Hidden in Garri: Police Apprehend Suspect with Explosive Material
Anambra Police Foil Explosives Plot, Arrest Two Suspects.
In a daring operation, the Anambra State Police Command has apprehended two suspects and seized a substantial quantity of gunpowder cleverly concealed in bags of garri, along with a locally-crafted pistol and live ammunition. The arrests were made possible by an intelligence-driven patrol conducted by the Police-led Joint Security Force in the Aguata area.
Key Details of the Operation:
– Suspect Interception: Police intercepted a suspect carrying three bags of garri, which upon inspection, revealed a hidden stash of gunpowder beneath the edible grains.
– Preliminary Investigations: The suspect was en route to a criminal camp to deliver groceries and gunpowder, intended for producing improvised explosives.
– Current Status: The suspect is in custody and cooperating with authorities to apprehend other gang members.
This breakthrough is a testament to the vigilance and effectiveness of the Anambra State Police Command in combating crime and ensuring public safety. The police continue to urge citizens to report suspicious activities and support their efforts in maintaining law and order.
Similar incidents have occurred in the past, where individuals have used creative methods to conceal illicit items, such as Indian hemp hidden in bags of garri ¹. These cases highlight the importance of persistent surveillance and intelligence-driven operations in foiling criminal plans.
