Ammunition recovered by the Army
Troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE have foiled an attempt to move illicit arms through Zak Village in the Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State, recovering two AK-47 rifles and other items.
The operation was carried out on Saturday, August 29, 2026, during a stop-and-search exercise when troops intercepted a green Volkswagen Golf vehicle for a routine search.
A statement by the Nigerian Army on its X handle on Sunday, said a thorough inspection of the vehicle uncovered “a specially fabricated concealed compartment” within the dashboard.
According to the Army, the driver abandoned the vehicle and fled into a nearby bush after troops directed him to open the compartment.
