**Gun Runners Busted: Oyo Police Foil Transnational Ammunition Trafficking Ring** In a major crackdown on illegal arms and ammunition, the Oyo State Police Command has apprehended two suspects involved in transnational ammunition trafficking. The suspects, Isiaka Dare and Taiwo Ayodabo, were arrested at Budo Mosalasi, Saki, in a coordinated operation by the Command Monitoring Unit. According to reports, the suspects have been trafficking ammunition from Benin Republic into Nigeria through unauthorized border routes. Their illicit trade has been linked to violent crimes such as armed robbery, banditry, kidnapping, and others. The suspects, aged 35 and 33 respectively, operate across international terrain and have been distributing prohibited ammunition to unauthorized individuals within the country. In a significant haul, the operatives recovered 2,625 cartridges concealed in four jerry cans—each containing 25 cartridges. Two unregistered motorcycles believed to have been used for the illegal transportation and distribution of the ammunition were also recovered. Investigation so far reveals that the suspects have confessed to the crime and are currently assisting investigators in unraveling the wider transnational network and identifying other accomplices involved in the illicit trade. The Commissioner of Police, Femi Haruna, has directed that the suspects be charged to court upon the conclusion of a thorough and comprehensive investigation. The Oyo State Police Command has vowed to sustain its crackdown on the proliferation of illegal arms and ammunition, a menace that affects not only the state but also the entire country. This development serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive policing and actionable intelligence in combating transnational crime. The arrest of the two suspects is a major breakthrough in the fight against gun running and ammunition trafficking in Nigeria. It highlights the need for increased collaboration between law enforcement agencies across international borders to combat transnational crime. The successful operation also underscores the commitment of the Oyo State Police Command to securing the state and its citizens.
