Troops of Operation UDO KA have arrested four suspected arms couriers during an intelligence-led sting operation in Ebonyi State as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle illegal arms trafficking networks in the South-East.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was carried out at about 11:50 a.m. on July 1 by troops of the 82 Division Garrison in conjunction with the Provost Group and Sector 2 of Operation UDO KA.
According to the sources, the operation followed credible intelligence on the activities of suspected arms dealers operating within the Ebonyi metropolis.
The troops subsequently conducted a coordinated sting and follow-up operation, leading to the arrest of four suspects believed to be involved in the illicit movement and distribution of arms.
