Police in the Maforki Division of Port Loko District have confirmed the seizure of 250 shotgun cartridges during a routine operation.
The ammunition, packed in ten boxes containing 25 cartridges each, was discovered in a blue taxi bearing registration number AXD 096.
The taxi was being driven by Abu Bakar Sesay, a resident of Freetown, who was promptly taken in for questioning.According to police sources, Sesay claimed the cartridges did not belong to him and instead pointed to an unnamed individual who is currently on the run.

Authorities have launched a manhunt for the alleged owner of the cartridges, and investigations are ongoing to determine the intended destination and purpose of the ammunition.
Meanwhile, Sesay is reportedly cooperating fully with law enforcement, assisting with details that may aid in the apprehension of the suspect.
