Gunrunner with Weapons Hidden in Dried Fish Shipment Arrested
Security operatives in Zamfara State have apprehended a suspected arms trafficker in Gusau trying to transport a sizeable consignment of arms, which included rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), AK-47 rifles and other ammunition, to the Dansadau axis.
Reliable security sources told Zagazola Makama that the arms trafficker was arrested on Sunday, as part of an investigation, after credible intelligence indicated that arms trafficking had been detected in the state capital.
The sources claimed that the arms trafficker concealed the arms in a consignment of dried fish to avoid detection. Preliminary investigation also revealed that the arms originated from the Lake Chad region, a notorious route used for arms trafficking across the border by terrorist and bandits network across the North-West region.
“The suspect was nabbed while trying to transport the deadly shipment to Dansadau, one of the areas recently hit by bandit attacks,” a source confirmed.
Security agencies have since intensified efforts to trace the source of the weapons and identify other members of the smuggling network.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
