The police command in Anambra says it has arrested a suspected gunrunner, who allegedly lends guns and other weapons to criminals for their operations in the Awka area of the state.

SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state made this known on Tuesday in Awka. Ikenga said the suspect (names withheld), who hails from the Izzi Local Government (LG) of Ebonyi, was arrested on December 9.

Ikenga recalled that on December 7, police operatives attached to the Anti-Cultism Squad, Enugu Ukwu, acting on credible information raided an identified black spot in Umunaga village in Awka South LG. He said during the operation a suspect from Umunaga village and another from Umuneri village, were arrested.

He said items recovered from the suspects included one pump action gun, three live cartridges, cutlass, charms, and substances suspected to be hard drugs. The PPRO said that during the operation the police also rescued two female victims whom the suspects had allegedly abused sexually.

Ikenga explained that during further interrogations, the suspects confessed that they rented guns and other weapons from the gunrunner.

According to him, this prompted the police operatives to act swiftly and arrest the gunrunner. He said the case would be charged to court after investigations.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the police in Anambra are doing everything possible to tackle the recent issue of increased cult activities among youth in the state.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest on Tuesday, July 15, at his residence in Daura, Katsina State, drawing an emotional close to a chapter in Nigeria’s political history.

The late President’s body arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom earlier in the day and was received with full state honours at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina.

President Bola Tinubu, who flew in from Abuja, arrived at 1:42 p.m. and was on hand to personally receive the remains of his predecessor.

A guard of honour was mounted for the Commander-in-Chief, shortly before the Nigerian Air Force plane transporting Buhari’s body touched down at 1:51 p.m.

According to family sources, the body was first taken to Buhari’s Daura residence, where his immediate family and close relatives offered a private farewell.

A few solemn moments were observed before the casket was moved to the community’s central prayer ground for the final rites.

“It was a dignified and peaceful farewell,” a family member told reporters. “We are grateful he returned home and was buried according to his wishes.”

Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, died in a London hospital on Sunday, 13 July 2025, after a prolonged illness.

His passing triggered tributes from global leaders and Nigerians across political divides.

In a brief remark at the airport, President Tinubu described his predecessor as “a patriot who loved Nigeria till his last breath.”

Security was tight in and around Daura, as thousands gathered quietly to witness the late leader’s final journey.

Traditional rulers, senior government officials, and members of the armed forces were present to pay their respects.

The former military ruler and two-term civilian President is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
