Operatives of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have uncovered a gun manufacturing factory operated by a father and his sons, where various types of firearms were fabricated.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Joseph O. Eribo, disclosed this on Monday during a briefing with journalists at the Command Headquarters in Ikot Akpan Abia, Uyo, highlighting the Command’s achievements in combating crime.
Eribo explained that the gun factory was discovered based on credible information, and police operatives responded swiftly, storming the location and arresting one suspect, while others managed to escape.
Recovered items included seven newly made single-barrel guns, five newly made double-barrel guns, one special steel double-trigger pistol, one broken single-barrel gun, one trigger-handle walking stick knife, and several cut iron pipes used for constructing gun barrels.
