VIDEO: NDLEA uncovers gun factory, arrests owner in Kaduna

NDLEA operatives uncover a suspected gun manufacturing factory in Sabon Garin Kangin, Kaduna State, recovering finished firearms and materials used to produce weapons.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has uncovered a gun manufacturing factory in Kaduna State, recovering finished firearms and materials used for the production of weapons.

The discovery was made during a raid by NDLEA operatives in the Sabon Garin Kangin area of the state, where the owner of the factory was also arrested.

The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a narco-trend update shared on his X handle on Sunday.

According to Babafemi, the operation led to the recovery of completed firearms and materials intended for the production of additional weapons.

The statement said, “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.”

He noted that the discovery further highlighted the connection between drug trafficking, substance abuse and other forms of criminal activities.
