“The Police acting on a tip-off discovered an arms making factory in Mgbo and on getting there the owner ran away but we recovered some of the locally made arms”,

he said.
 
He commended those who voluntarily surrendered their arms and urged others still with theirs to submit them immediately promising that no punishment will be metted out to them.

“However, if they fail to do so and we catch them with the arms, they will be prosecuted, so we encourage them to utilise this opportunity by the IGP to submit the arms”.

 
He listed some of the arms recovered to include 18 AK47 rifles, 6 G3 rifles, 21 pump action riffles, 6 English made double barrel guns, 33 locally made short guns, 62 dane guns and quantities of live ammunition and cartridges of different calibre.

I haven't seen the police disarm the Fulani's like this. Meanwhile,they are the ones with almost 90% of illegal arms in Nigeria. I sense,disarming some people for an impending ethnic cleansing when those people are not capable of defending themselves at all. Igbos,beware !!
