Tuesday, July 15, 2025 - The Enugu State Police Command has uncovered a local firearms fabrication workshop in Udi Local Government Area. Operatives recovered assorted firearms, cartridges, firearms repair tools, generator sets, and other exhibits.
Confirming the discovery to newsmen, the spokesperson of the
police command, Daniel Ndukwe, said on June 30, 2025, at about 4 p.m.,
operatives of the Command’s Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad, acting on credible
intelligence, raided and dismantled the workshop located in Amofia-Agu Affa,
Udi LGA. The operation followed the arrest and confession of one Ekene Okafor,
aged 32, a member of the Supreme Vikings Confraternity, earlier apprehended for
conspiracy, armed robbery, and unlawful possession of firearms.
‘’The
suspect led operatives to the workshop, where his locally made cut-to-size gun
was being serviced by the workshop’s owner, who fled upon sighting the
operatives. Recovered from the scene were the locally made cut-to-size
single-barrel gun being serviced, two English-made double-barrel guns, eight
single-barrel guns, two live and eight expended cartridges, three generator
sets, various firearms repair tools, and other exhibits.
Ndukwe said efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing
owner of the workshop.
