Members of the Community Protection Guard (CPG) in Zamfara State have intercepted a vehicle carrying weapons believed to be for bandits.
Weapons recovered included two AK 47 riffles, an RPG and ammunitions. A member of the CPG, Salisu Adamu said the guard intercepted the vehicle at Dangulbi community during routine stop and search operations.
“The weapons were concealed inside a carton loaded with fish. And when we insisted on searching the vehicles, there was initial resistance from the driver” Adamu said.
The driver of the vehicle, Bashar Mustapha said he loaded passengers and goods from Gusau Park and was heading to Magami but was intercepted at Dangulbi by the CPG who are on routine patrol.
He confirmed that the weapons were found on his vehicle but noted that the items belong to a female passenger who boarded the vehicle from Gusau.
