A SUSPECTED gun-runner has denied selling over
200 Ak 47 rifles as alleged by the Police.
The suspect, Andrew Moukwue, who was among
the eight suspected criminals paraded yesterday
and currently facing interrogation at the Special
State Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Lagos
State Police Command, told newsmen that he had
long been in the business of AK 47 rifle sales.
“Really, I sell AK47 to people but not 200 as the
Police is saying. I know that the business I do is
illegal but things are difficult and man must wack
(eat).”
“I started the business many years ago but I was
working under someone. When he died, I decided
to start my own. I have a shop in Onitsha main
market, Anambra State. I just stay in the shop
and wait for customers. I don’t sell anything else.
There is nothing in the shop, but I hold my mobile
phone and, through it, I make contact and
negotiate deals with my prospective customers”
“I used to buy the guns from a customer in
Ibadan, Oyo State. I used to buy one for N300,
00O and I sold to end users between N350, 000
to N400, 000. I was always very careful with the
people I sold to. I was selling to businessmen
and people who have problems in their
communities. Some communities in Anambra are
having one clash or the other, so I was selling to
those who needed guns to defend their
communities.”
“I will not tell you lies, I have made money
through the business. By the grace of God, I have
built a befitting house,
I have two good cars and my children are in good
schools. My wife is looking good. I don’t know
why the devil came to distract me. I won’t tell
you lies, I only sold about 100 AK47. Let the
Police say the truth. Were they there when I was
selling the guns? I am the one who sold the guns,
how can another person tell me how many I sold.
I know the business is illegal and that armed
robbers use AK47 to operate, but I did not sell to
armed robbers but to responsible people and
community leaders.”
“I feel so sorry if anyone had used the gun he
bought from me to commit crime, but I did not
sell to them to do evil. Let the government forgive
me,” Moukwue confessed.
One of his accomplices, Christopher Edwin said:
“My sin is that I assisted him in selling 14 AK47
rifles. I knew the business was evil but I needed
to survive. I would collect from him for N350,OOO
and sell for N400,0000. I just started the business
so I won’t say that I have made money or not.
To be candid, I sold guns to businessmen and not
to hoodlums. I was the person who led the Police
to my master. I also led the Police to some of the
places they recovered the guns. I know that I
have done evil against man and God but I did not
know the implication until I was told about the
implication of the guns falling into the hands of
armed robbers. Please let the Police temper
justice with mercy.”
The State Commissioner Of Police Mr Kayode
Aderanti, who paraded the suspect among others
at his office in GRA, Ikeja, said based on the
follow-up of a case, one Andrew Moukwue was
arrested in Onitsha and upon interrogation, he
confessed to have sold over 200 Ak47 rifles
smuggled from Mali to several criminals and
militants in Anambra, Rivers, Bayelsa, Abia, Enugu
and Lagos States.
Aderanti said: “He led SARS Opertatives back to
Onitsha where one Christopher Edwin was
arrested and three Ak47 rifles were recovered. He
further led SARS team to Rivers State where
Peter Onyeale and Okpara Reginald were arrested
and four English pistols, two Barreta pistols and
two Brownie pistols were also recovered”
He said detectives have embarked on intensive
combing in Bayelsa, Enugu and Abia states to fish
out the remaining gang members who have gone
underground after hearing of the arrest of
Moukwue. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/03/i-sold-only-i00-pieces-of-ak47-and-not-200-as-police-claim/
