In a significant breakthrough, the Bauchi State Police Command has apprehended two suspects in possession of a fabricated AK-47 rifle and ammunition in the Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area. The suspects, Abdulgafar Mohammed and Yusuf Isa, were caught by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit while attempting to sell the rifle for N580,000 at Boto Market.
