According to the CP, acting on credible intelligence about the production of firearms at Mbaafa in Adikpo, Kwande LGA, detectives were sent to investigate.
On January 11, the police raided a factory in Mbaafa, arresting two suspects, Friday Aduduakamve and Iorwashima Iornyume, also known as AK-35. During the operation, they recovered nine fabricated pistols and an unfinished AK-47 rifle, among other items.

“During the investigation, the said suspect was arrested on January 10; six dane guns and three long pipes used for fabricating guns were recovered from his house.
