The Police Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has urged Nigerians to report anyone they observe in possession of live ammunition, in order stop the spread of weapons in Nigeria.

This was disclosed in a statement he posted on his official X account on Sunday.

Sharing a picture of live ammunition, Adejobi said, “These are live ammunition, called “èpà” or “groundnuts” in the street.

“They are deadly, not to be seen with anyone except security agents. Statutory security agents, no other ones.

“If you see them with any friend or civilian, please expose him or her. We need to collectively curb the proliferation of arms and ammunition in Nigeria.”

Remember that 34 suspects were paraded by Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Adegoke Fayoade, on Thursday, one month after taking office. The individuals are suspected of crimes including as armed robbery, theft, cultism, and unlawful possession of guns.

The police commissioner reported no fewer than 14 cases cracked and the recovery of a total of 16 firearms, including a toy pistol, 72 live cartridges, 75 live ammo, one expended cartridge, and one handgun magazine, in what Fayoade called a measure of his accomplishments since entering office.

In addition, Six axes, four daggers, a digger, five cutlasses, two cars, a POS machine, phony license plates, and different charms were also found by the police.
