DSS Arrests Gunrunner, Recover Weapons At Campaign Office In Kano
The operation was intelligence-driven, questioning how the weapons were found
The Department of State Services has arrested Aliyu Yahaya, a gunrunner in Zamfara and uncovered weapons at the campaign office in Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.
This is contained in a statement signed by the agency spokesperson Peter Afunanya on Thursday.
He said the operatives had recovered weapons from a property along Airport Road, in the state.
The DSS also refuted an allegation that it described as ‘untrue’ by a party in the state that the service was intimidating its members.
Mr Afunanya clarified that the DSS prepared for the general elections on Saturday, but he did not disclose the party whose members are being intimidated by the Service.
Meanwhile, the Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) had accused the service of intimidating its members and carrying out raids on its campaign offices in the state.
He, however, said that the operation was intelligence-driven, questioning how the weapons were found on the property.
