Thursday, November 6, 2025 - Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State have @rrested a woman in possession of live ammunition suspected to be destined for b@ndits.
The woman, whose identity has been withheld was intercepted
during a routine stop-and-search operation along the Tsafe–Gusau highway on
Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
It was gathered that the suspect, believed to be from Birnin
Magaji LGA, had the ammunition concealed in her luggage while travelling
through the area.
Chairman of Tsafe Local Government Area, Malam Garba Shehu,
confirmed the @rrest and commended the operatives for what he described as a
major breakthrough in ongoing efforts to curb the movement of arms and criminal
logistics across the state.
“I want to appreciate the NDLEA operatives for their vigilance and dedication. This @rrest has prevented d@ngerous ammunition from reaching criminal elements threatening peace in our communities,” Shehu said.
He also pledged continued support to security agencies
operating in the area, adding that anyone found aiding cr!me or b@nditry would
face the full weight of the law.
“As a local government, we will continue to provide whatever
support is necessary to ensure law enforcement officers carry out their duties
effectively,” he said.
The NDLEA has transferred the suspect to a secure facility
for further investigation, while security agencies intensify efforts to trace
the source and intended recipients of the ammunition.
Tsafe and surrounding communities have recently witnessed
increased anti-cr!me operations as security agencies continue to disrupt b@ndit
supply routes linking Birnin Magaji, Tsafe and the Dansadau forest axis.
