**DSS Busts Suspected Gunrunner, Seizes 832 Rounds of Ammunition in Cross River** In a recent operation, the Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a suspected gunrunner, Kelvin Ebikeniye Dugo, in Cross River State. The arrest is a significant blow to gunrunning activities in the country, particularly in the South-South region. According to sources, Dugo was arrested on Monday at Ivara Esu Estate in Odukpani Local Government Area, following a tip-off about his plan to purchase a large quantity of ammunition. It is alleged that he intended to acquire the ammunition from another suspect, Azenda Barnabas, also known as "Jagaban," who is reportedly based in Aliade, Benue State. DSS operatives intercepted Dugo after he received the consignment, which was cleverly concealed in food items to evade detection. During the operation, the operatives recovered 832 rounds of live ammunition and two empty AK-47 magazines. This operation is part of the DSS's ongoing efforts to combat illegal arms trafficking and curb the proliferation of guns in the country. The agency has intensified its operations in various states, including in the North Central region, where many gunrunning syndicates are believed to be operating. The DSS's commitment to dismantling gunrunning syndicates and preventing the spread of illegal arms is a welcome development, particularly in a country where the threat of terrorism and other forms of violence is ever-present. This operation is a testament to the agency's dedication to keeping Nigeria safe and secure. As the country continues to grapple with the challenges of insecurity, the DSS's efforts to combat gunrunning and other forms of illicit activities are crucial to maintaining law and order. The agency's success in intercepting Dugo and seizing the ammunition is a significant achievement, and it sends a strong message to those involved in gunrunning activities that they will not be tolerated.
