Soldiers have discovered a gun-manufacturing factory in Tapka, Lafia, Nassarawa State.
An officer at the Public Relations Directorate of the Army, Lt. Col. Aliyu Yusuf, who addressed journalists on behalf of the Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Bola Koleosho, said the soldiers also arrested two persons in connection with the incident.
Those arrested and undergoing interrogation, according to Yusuf, for unlawful possession of fire arms, are Bello and Iliya (surnames withheld).
It was learnt that soldiers are on the trail of a suspected gunrunner, Adogi (surname witheld).
Yusuf said soldiers also raided the factory and recovered arms and ammunition as well as charms.
The suspects were paraded at the Aguiyi Ironsi Barracks in Abuja alongside the items seized from them.
The seized items included 11 guns, two pistols, a welding machine, hand drilling machines, 36 pieces of 7.62 NATO ammunition, 39 pieces of 7.62mm special ammunition and charms.
Also seized from the suspects were two Toyota Corolla with number plates Epe, 737AG and Abuja 683 RBC.
Aliyu said the suspects were arrested by soldiers deployed in the forest in Akwanga at midnight for possessing a gun.
He said the investigating team took the suspects to the factory where the dangerous weapons, which were displayed on Tuesday, were recovered.
He said, “The suspects were on their way from Lafia to Panda at the time of arrest. Preliminary investigation conducted by the unit revealed that the suspects bought the items from a local manufacturer in Takpa.
“Our investigators moved to Takpa on the outskirts of Lafia. Further investigation of the locals led to the discovery of gunrunning factory.”
Commander of the Brigade of Guards, Brig.-Gen Emmanuel Atewe, appealed to the members of the public to cooperate with all the security agencies by volunteering vital information to them.
Meanwhile, the two suspects who spoke to journalists said they were employees of Panda Development area in Nassarawa.

To my own point of view Government never start, let them gather all the local industries and register them for each state and bring those with same handwork to a particular place for proper monitors that is the only way we can check mate these people, but we should not forget that these people are still useful, come to think of it, our government will be importing ammunition in dollars whereas we have the company with us here, let government develop the company and employ the workers and manage the company instead of killing them or send them away, because these same people can go to any neighboring country and still be importing these guns to us in dollars.

There is no different between cultist and muslims.cultist lived by the gun,Bullet,matches and muslims lived by guns,machetes,knife and bombs too.Cultist worship Juju as you can see theirs there,muslims worship juju too,allah god of stone and sun.muslims lived by guns and bombs even in their mosques,cultist lived by guns too,maybe with bombs as well.
moslems die by bombs and guns,By bombs when dey go on suicide missions Example mohammad Manga first Nigerian suicide bomber,again Umar farouk but Americans save am if not him for don die by now,and muslims died by gun when security agencies attack them before operations and open up fire.Example Osama bin laden lives with AK 47 and died by AK47. Cultist live with guns and die by guns as well.
So cultist and muslims na birds of a father,na mohammad born dem.
