The 39,880 assorted firearms
and ammunition recovered from
former militants in the Niger
Delta by the inter-agency
taskforce set up by the Federal
Government have been handed over to the 82 Division of the
Nigerian Army.



A breakdown of the arms
handed over on Saturday at the
82 Division's parade ground
included the following:



482 automatic arms, 20,132
ammunition, 295 magazines and 18,971 locally made guns. The General Officer
Commanding the 82 Division
Nigerian Army,



General
Adebayor Olaniyi, who received
the large arms from the
taskforce, said it was part of the Federal Government's
amnesty programme which
started in 2009.

Those are just the light and petty ammunitions with the militants.
The real ammunitions are still with them. They just submitted those ones to bait their hooks to collect the amnesty.

Seriously
