Nigerian troops deployed to Moriki, Zamfara State, on Monday, intercepted a motorcyclist with a bag full of ammunition, which he disguised as a bag of rice.

Military sources briefed on the incident said while the motorcyclist escaped, the bike and the bag of ammunition were captured.Military authorities said the interception occurred after they got a tipoff that arms were being transported in the Moriki area of Zamfara State, following which they mounted an emergency stop and search checkpoint.

With the motorcyclist refusing to stop for routine checks, sources said he was chased but escaped, leaving behind the vehicle and the bag stuffed with bullets. Zamfara, a state in the northwestern region of Nigeria, has in recent years been a hotbed of banditry that has disrupted the peace of the state.The state routinely faced problems of intercommunal clashes, farmer-herders conflict and kidnapping for ransom, which have caused deaths and human displacement.
