SA Mercenary with 17,000 Ammunition Linked to Nigeria

A large quantity of ammunition which was allegedly stolen from the Hoedspruit air force base in South Africa has been found on a farm near Carolina in Mpum-alanga, News24.com reported yesterday.
The approximately 17,000 rounds, of which more than half are for R4 assault rifles, were found in a house rented by a former air force flight instructor.

The suspect, whose identity is known to Beeld, is currently in Nigeria where he is supposedly working as a mercenary.
The police carried out the raid on the farm Jaglus, about 10km outside Carolina, on Monday night after receiving a tip-off about the ammunition.
The suspect rents a house on the farm. Three firearms (for which the suspect does have licences) were also seized.
These firearms are a 9mm pistol, a .303 and a .22 rifle.

The police also suspect that there are illegal firearms in a second safe discovered in the house.
Apparently this second safe will only be opened once the suspect has returned to South Africa.
The information about where the ammunition was kept was apparently given to police after they conducted a raid last week on Willem Ratte and nine other men.

Leonard Hlathi, spokesperson for the unit against organised crime in Mpumalanga, confirmed that the seized ammunition is being kept at the police station in Carolina.
He could not say whether there is any link between the raids on Ratte and the farm at Carolina.
The ammunition also included hundreds of 12-gauge, .22, .303 and 9mm rounds.
Meanwhile Beeld has determined that plans are being made to bring the suspect back to South Africa from Nigeria by the weekend.

But why south africa? there is a missing link somewhere

Good! I think south Africa policemen are doing correct job, unlike our own POLICEMEN who go about collecting #20 and #50 on our highways.Even when they know where terrorists and armed robbers are, instead of going on to arrest them, they will not but prefer to arrest anyone who give them information on it.Pls, I am not saying you are not trying ooo, but your performance is below 50%.
  Now, let those big men aiding such act be revealed and brought to book.May God help NIGERIA(AMEN).

in south africa a lot of ex white military guys that retired after the fall of apartheid are into "security" business and are known to fight and train whoever pays them well.

Henry Okah, arguably the most successful gunrunner in Nigerian history, is the missing link. The guy operates out of South Africa.

My theory is that Mr. Mercenary is also behind the importation of the bombs for the Abuja blast and is Henry Okah's accomplice. They should get him over to SA for questioning.

Na today?

Read this interesting piece by Bashorun J.K. Randle:


Perhaps I should add that while Chief Agbabiaka held sway in Lagos, the "head of thieves" (olori ole) was equally well known. His name was Aninkura who, like Agbab, hailed from Ilorin. As fate would have it, the Colonial Government decided to give Agbab a belated promotion which compelled him to move to Abakaliki.

Chief Agbabiaka, as was customary in those days, was in transit in Lagos on his way to commence his government sponsored leave in Britain. It meant he had to come from Abakaliki to catch either the "M.V. Apapa" or "M.V. Aureol" to Liverpool where the ship would dock before he could catch the train to London and other parts of England. Anyway, Chief Agbabiaka had to return abruptly to Abakaliki to deal with some urgent matters. By the time he came back to Lagos, the ship on which he was booked had sailed off. Consequently, he had to cool his heels in Lagos and wait for the next Liverpool bound ship.

My father decided to hold a party for Agbab. The party was already in full swing with Ayinde Bakare on the bandstand dishing out the most melodious sakara music when, who should turn up but Aninkura ("the head of thieves". He had come to lodge a complaint with my father to the effect that the extended presence of Chief Agbabiaka in Lagos was disrupting his business! He wanted my father to ensure that Chief Agbabiaka, who had by then risen to the rank of Senior Superintendent of Police, was immediately loaded on the next ship to Liverpool or recalled to Abakaliki to deal with more serious crimes, instead of meddling with the petty crimes in Lagos.

Who are they fooling. Keep dribbling yourself. Simply - complete your investigations and prosecute who did it. Instead of perambulating everywhere with disjointed claims.
