The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has uncovered a gun manufacturing factory in Kaduna State.
The agency made the discovery during a raid in Sabon Garin Kangin area of the state. It recovered finished firearms and materials used for the production of weapons and arrested the owner of the factory.
The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in an update shared on his X handle on Sunday.
In the course of a raid operation by @ndlea_nigeria officers in Sabon Garin Kangin area of Kaduna some days ago, they discovered a gun factory where finished firearms and materials for the production of more weapons were recovered and the owner arrested. This reinforces the already established fact that there’s a nexus between substance abuse, drug trafficking and other forms crime.
