The police operation in Nasarawa has found a British -made beretta gun with 12 rounds of 9mm live ammunition in the state.
Spokesman for the State Police Command, Ramhan Nankel, revealed this in a statement on Saturday at the Lafia.
Nankel said the operation was part of the strategy adopted by the State Police Commissioner, Shethima Jauro-Mohammed, to deal with criminal elements in the state.
According to him, firearms were found in a hiding place for criminals known as, “me and you” in the Masaka region in the Karu regional government in the state.
“During the operation, one Buhari Mustapha, 25, men, from the state of Katsina, was arrested and the goods were found from him after a thorough search,” he added.
The spokesman said Jauro-Mohammed had ordered an investigation of this case to capture other criminal elements and curb crime in the area, as well as the state in general.
