Osun defender? What do u expect? Igbo haters.

Lol... Osun defender has suddenly become an Igbo hater Abi?

Remembered when this same Osun defender reported during Anambra elections that some youths from Osun state were being paid to go and do whatever in Anambra... nobody called it Igbo hater then. Why now?

grin grin grin

But Op.... edit your title please. A criminal is a criminal... adding his tribe to it doesn't make him more criminal than others. Quit the sensationalism.

See how low some Nigeria online media or better still blogs have sunk.

Below is the original article published on 24th May, 2014 while it took Osun Defender complete two months to revise the obvious truth.on the course of hibernated bigotry, hate and outright deception to rope in the Easterners in Bokoharam debauchery (this time not sex alone) but of lust for blood and savagery.

Soldiers Intercept Suspected Boko Haram Ammunition Supply Vehicle, Arrest DSP, Others
24 May 2014

By Christopher Isiguzo 
          
At least three persons, including a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, and a corporal, Abu Haruna, Solomon have been arrested for illegal trafficking of arms and ammunition.
The third suspect, Onuwa Attaka, is the driver of the arms laden vehicle.

It was gathered that their confession showed alleged involvement in supply of arms to insurgents in Northern Nigeria.

The three suspects, who were heading to the North from Imo State, were intercepted in Nsukka, Enugu State, by officers and men of the Nigerian Army while travelling in a bus.
Items recovered from them include- 40 AK47 magazines, 4 boxes of AK47 live ammunition, 100 pieces of live cartridges, one piece of Denin Mopol khaki and charms concealed in a cap.
One of the army officers who spoke to reporters under anonymity disclosed that a police corporal serving in Imo State Police Command was also involved in the arms running.
He said: "When we asked the occupants of the vehicle to come down, we discovered a police corporal in uniform among them.

The corporal on getting down pretended to be pressed; he later ran away".
It was gathered that the suspects were taken to Nsukka Police Division before their transfer to the state CID.

The retired DSP, Abu Haruna, confessed that he had been in the business of arms dealing since he retired from the police.

He said their mission was to supply the ammunition to their buyer in Taraba State.
The source said Haruna further confessed that they decided to go on the supply after the buyer complained that the first batch was incomplete.

The Police corporal's identity has been traced to Imo State Police command; his name was simply given as Solomon, even as efforts are still being made to effect his arrest.

Meanwhile, the Nsukka Police Area Commander, ASP. Ros-Amson Haladu has praised the gallantry of the soldiers in combating crimes in the area.
"I want to commend the Army Officers for their vigilance in tracking down these illegal arms dealers.
"At the same time, I warn criminals to leave this vicinity or risk being apprehended by security operatives", he said.

Anything that brings money, Ibos will do it. Judas was an Ibo man; or rather, Judas descendants make up the Ibo tribe. So, if their fore-father can sell Jesus, what else cant the descendants do for money?

Pardon me, I am an incurable tribalist; I have already started taking hard drugs to cure my tribalism.

Which part of the story is a lie?

1. They were Igbo.

2. They were ferrying weapons to the north.

3. These weapons will be used to kill innocent people including their brothers.

I read some of the comments and it amazes me. This issue its not about Igbo people and their love for money. In short, every tribes loves money and anybody from any tribe can commit crime. This is a case of a group of people who are involved in criminality and got caught period. cool
