Adamawa Police Arrest Suspected Gunrunner, Seize Weapons Ahead of Festive Season
The Adamawa State Police Command has successfully apprehended a 34-year-old suspected gunrunner, Sunday Moses, and confiscated a significant cache of weapons, including 364 rounds of live ammunition, two hand grenades, and other armaments.
SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the command’s spokesperson, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. The suspect was detained for allegedly smuggling ammunition into the state.
This operation was part of the command’s increased efforts to ensure safety during the holiday season and the ongoing farm harvest period, which involved intensive patrols, raids, and stop-and-search operations that began on December 1, 2024.
The police operations extended across metro areas, including Song, Gombi, and Hong local government areas, where several criminal hideouts were dismantled.
Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, praised the community’s cooperation and urged residents to stay alert and report any suspicious activities, emphasizing that collective efforts are crucial for maintaining peace and security.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”
Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.
It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”
