Police operatives in Adamawa State have arrested a 33-year-old man, Musa Adamu, for allegedly being in possession of illegal firearms.
The suspect, who was arrested with four AK-47 rifles, however claimed that a repented armed robb£ry colleague gave them to him.
Adamu, a resident of Mayo Belwa LGA of the state said he had been involved in kidn@pping in the past but had repented from it. He insisted that the four g¥ns he was caught with were handed to him to keep.
