Makama added the troops orchestrated a snap checkpoint along the road from Kware to Badarawa in the Shinkafi LGA, which resulted in the arrest of the suspect.

It was gathered that the 25-year-old suspected criminal was found in possession of 764 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 6 magazines, and a talisman (referred to locally as ‘laya’).
