He said, the suspect disembarked from the motorcycle, abandoned his bag and attempted to escape but was chased and apprehended and when search of his handbag was conducted, 202 rounds of 7.62 x 39mm live ammunitions were retrieved.

“Early inquisition revealed that Musa Yusuf was on an errand for a bandit alias Emir in Zurmi forest. He was to receive the ammunition at Bakin Kogi in Kauru LGA of Kaduna State and convey same to the said bandit.

“He has since accomplished the first stage of the mission by collecting the ammunitions but was intercepted before delivering by the ever-vigilant Police Officers attached to Tudun Wada Zaria Division. Investigation is still ongoing and concerted efforts being made to arrest his accomplices after which case will be charged to court,” the PPRO stated.
