Before now, there have been rumours and stories concerning the suspicion that men of the Nigerian Police Force do trade in Arms kept under their custody with notorious elements in the society including Armed Robbers, Kidnappers and even Militants. This has always been denied by the Police Authorities.

Well, they are no longer in a position to deny such stories as one of them has now been caught “red-handed” doing just that.

A Nigerian Police Officer who is also an Armourer and who goes by the name Sergeant Sunday Odu has been apprehended for selling the arms kept in his custody to some suspected Militants.

Sergeant Sunday of the Ipakodo Police Division must surely have been carrying out this activity for quite sometime undetected before nemesis caught up with him.

Funny enough when the act was discovered and being investigated as required, the Armourer tried to shoot himself to death but for the quick reactions of other officers around.

The Arms Business was discovered when unfortunately for Mr. Arms Dealer, a Police Audit Team visited the Police Station in a routine verification exercise usually carried out to ascertain the situation of arms and ammunition at various Police Stations across the country.

Luckily For Nigeria and its innocent citizens, the Police Audit Team that discovered this atrocity refused to accept the bribe offered to them when they got to this Police Station.

If we remember quite well enough, there have been numerous attacks by well armed Militants resulting in a spate of killings in the Ikorodu area for sometime now and the Police as well as the innocent public have always wondered about how militants were getting access to arms and ammunition.

The smart Police Officer cum Arms Dealer is reportedly now cooling his heels (and brain) in a cell at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, Lagos.
