Three Of Suspected Gunrunners Arrested in Kaduna
The Department of State Services, DSS, has arrested at least three suspected gunrunners for allegedly supplying arms and ammunition to bandits in Kaduna State.
The DSS said the arrests were made during coordinated sting operations in Igabi and Kachia local government areas of the state.
According to the agency, one of the suspects, a 30-year-old man, was intercepted along the Nnamdi Azikiwe Bypass in Igabi while transporting two AK-47 rifles, one PKT machine gun, over 200 rounds of live ammunition, and four empty magazines concealed in sacks of maize.
Two others were apprehended at Doka village in Kachia, along the Abuja–Kaduna Expressway, while trafficking three AK-47 rifles to bandits in a Volkswagen Golf car.
Reacting to the development, Governor Uba Sani commended the DSS for the successful operation, vowing that there would be no hiding place for bandits and other criminal elements under his administration’s peace model.
The governor, through his Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Sule Shuaibu, also expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu and the Director-General of the DSS for their continued support of Kaduna’s security framework.
Governor Sani further noted that the non-kinetic peace model introduced by his administration has significantly reduced crime rates across the state and warned criminal elements to desist from acts capable of undermining the state’s stability.
Meanwhile, the secret police said investigations into the matter are ongoing and assured that the suspects would face the full weight of the law.
It reaffirmed its commitment to curbing arms trafficking and preventing Kaduna from becoming a safe corridor for illegal weapons.
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.
