In a statement signed by the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Aminu Iliyasu, the 6 Division said while covert efforts are on-going to track the source of the weapons and the agents involved in conjunction with sister security agencies, it wishes to unequivocally state that anyone found to be disrupting the electoral process under any guise will be decisively dealt with in accordance with the laws no matter how highly placed he or she is.
