The Department of State Services (DSS) has recovered 50 AK47 rifles, six pump-action shotguns and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition during a covert operation in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

The Nigerian secret police also reportedly arrested an Itsekiri serving in the British Army (name withheld) who allegedly procured the weapons at the behest of one Collins.

Multiple sources at DSS confirmed on Friday night that the operatives from the DSS Delta Command apprehended the prime suspect, a Major in the British Army, and several associates in connection with the illegal arms supply.

The British army officer was reportedly intercepted in Lagos as he was about boarding a flight to the United Kingdom, while his associates were apprehended in Asaba.

A source stated: “An Itsekiri serving in the British Army is alleged to have procured weapons and ammunition at the behest of one Collins to instigate unrest in Warri.

“During a covert exchange near Asaba in Delta State, operatives from the DSS Delta Command apprehended the arms supplier and several associates, seizing over 50 AK-47 rifles, six pump-action shotguns, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

“Shortly thereafter, DSS agents in Lagos intercepted the British Major as he tried to cross Nigeria’s border en route to the United Kingdom.

“All suspects are now in DSS custody. The DSS will carry out a full and transparent investigation and hold anyone found plotting tribal conflicts to account.’’

There are suspicions that the arms were procured by those opposed to the delineation of the wards and polling units in the Warri Federal Constituency.

A powerful traditional ruler is also being discreetly investigated in connection with the matter.
