Two men, Abdullahi Sadiq, 30 and Sani Nasiru, 28, have been arraigned before a Magistrate court in Kaduna for gun possession.
The men were on December 27 arrested with one locally-fabricated automatic pistol, one Dane gun, eight cutlasses, knives and daggers, the police told the court, on Wednesday.
They were nabbed in the Rigasa area of the state on their way to Zaria to meet their gang leader named Garba for a robbery operation, the court further heard.

The prosecutor, Inspector Sunday Baba, said the Garba is still at large.
The court, however, did not take the accused plea as it lacked jurisdiction to try cases under the Kaduna State Robbery and Firearms (special provision) Act 2004.
Presiding Chief Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel ordered that the accused be remanded in custody pending advice by the state’s Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mr Emmanuel adjourned the case till February 6 pending advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution.
