DSS arrests suspected gun runner with 850 live bullets in Cross Rivers

Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, have arrested a suspected gun runner with no fewer than 850 live rounds of ammunition in Cross River State

The suspect was apprehended in the early hours of Tuesday during a covert operation carried out by DSS operatives in a community within the state.

DSS sources said “the arrest followed credible intelligence on the movement of illegal arms in the area”.

According to the sources, the suspect was intercepted while allegedly transporting the ammunition to an undisclosed destination, raising concerns over possible threats to public safety.

Items recovered from the suspect include 850 live bullets, believed to be intended for criminal activities.

The DSS has since taken the suspect into custody for further interrogation and investigation, while efforts are ongoing to track down other members of the network.
