Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Tin-Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has reportedly intercepted a cache of arms and ammunition being smuggled into Nigeria by some criminal elements.<\/p>\n

Daily Trust reports that among the items intercepted are military camouflage and some illicit drugs such as Colorado.<\/p>\n

The arms recovered include automatic single-barrel rifles and pump action guns.<\/p>\n

Although details of the interception are still sketchy as at press time, it was learnt that the arms were recovered during an inspection of consignments imported into the country.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Customs Service had in 2023, seized 31 arms of various types at Tin-Can and Multi-Purpose Terminals, PTML ports in Lagos.<\/p>\n

About two suspects were arrested after the interception.<\/p>\n

This is coming amid the deteriorating security crisis that has halted economic activities in many parts of the nation.<\/p>\n
