specialise in gun running and sale of
military gear to men of the underworld.
This is just as a police corporal, Reuben Joel who is attached to the anti-terrorism unit of the Nigeria Police Force in Aba, Abia State has also been nabbed for trafficking in military and police uniforms in terrorist cells.
Nancy James and her accomplice, Haliru
Jumba, said to be a pastor with Kunini
Deeper Life Bible Church in Lau Local
Government Area of Taraba State were
caught with some cache of arms hidden
inside a sack of garri at a military
checkpoint in Numan Local Government
Area of Adamawa State.
Military authorities said the group were
heading for Gombe State where one
Danjuma Luka, who is now also in police net in Taraba State was said to have waited to take delivery of the guns.
The capture of Luka by the military followed the arrest of Ms James, who the military said was making her second delivery of arms, after a previously successful operation in February.
The brigade spokesman, Lieutenant Victor
Olukoya said the woman was caught with
four double-barreled guns and two pistols
and would have got away but for the
vigilance of the soldier who suspected and
accosted her.
“The weapons were hidden in that bag of
garri. After searching the sack, the guns
were discovered, and the men arrested,”
Olukoya said.
The army spokesman explained that the
pastor arrested in company of the woman
“is still only an accomplice” and that the
police will be left to ascertain the extent of his involvement in the gun running
business.
Also paraded by the army was a police
corporal, Reuben Joel attached to the anti-
terrorism unit of the Nigeria Police Force in Aba, Abia State.
He was accused of selling military and police uniforms to terrorist groups.
Olukoya said it was amazing that a serving corporal, attached to the anti-terrorist unit of the police command in Abia State would be involved in the illegal sale of military uniform in far away Adamawa State.
The arrest followed the arrest of two
persons by the military at a checkpoint in
Mubi, who were caught with 10 uniforms
and 10 pairs of military boots.
Upon interrogation, the men confessed to
taking supply of the military uniforms from Joel and that they were taking the
consignment to Hong in Adamawa State.
