The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye, has hinted that weapons are sold in the Onitsha Main Market in Anambra State.

Adeoye said this at a press briefing on Monday at the Police Command Headquarters, Amawbia, in the Awka South Local Government Area of the state.

The CP who said he was talking from a long experience of service in the state, that commenced in the 1990s, said the situation had even worsened recently.

He described the Onitsha main market as one of the sources for proliferation of weapons in the state.
