Maybe Igbo people doing their business in numbers in north shouldn't go again because people like you are listening to one fugitive in London.

BENUE STATE: SPECIAL FORCES ARREST 73 MEN ON THEIR WAY TO IMO STATE

Operatives of the 72 Special Forces Brigade, Nigeria Army, Makkipurdi, acting on intelligence report, yesterday apprehended 73 young men of various addresses, all from Nasarawa State at Agan Toll Gate, Makurdi, on their way to Imo State.

The young men, with 47 Bajaj motorcycles were in 5 trucks conveying some minerals from Plateau State to a Port Harcourt based company.

Benue State Deputy Governor, Engr. Benson Abounu, who was there this morning commended the Special Forces for their diligence and professional conduct. He stated that despite the attempts to evade arrest, the soldiers were able to apprehend the trucks and arrest the men.
He was happy that contrary to the speculations in town about the confiscation of a truck loaded with arms and men to attack the town, no arms were found after a thorough search conducted by the soldiers.
He however expressed surprise that such a large number of young men from the same state could be found together going to a place, like Imo State, which they know to be experiencing serious security challenges at the moment.

Engr. Abounu charged the security men to carry out a detailed profiling of the passengers for further action as the answers coming from them do not add up.
Speaking on the issue, the Commander of 72 Special Forces Brigade, Lt. Col. AD Alhassan said he and his men acted based on security report as they moved to intercept the trucks immediately they got the hint that they were heading towards Makurdi. He said they spent a couple of hours a waiting for them before they finally arrived at night.

He said a thorough search has been conducted on them with all goods on the trucks offloaded and their motorcycles dismantled for proper search, but said no arms were found.

When questioned, one of the young men, who claimed his name is Emmanuel Ayugwa said they were going to Imo State to do Okada business. He said though they were aware of the serious security challenges there, they decided to go because their brothers there told them that everything had calmed down.

Mr Ayugwa, who said they only chose to travel with their bike using the truck to lessen their expenses, could not however explain how all of them from different places in Nasarawa State were able to find themselves in the trucks, which started their journeys from Plateau State.
Findings through a phone call with the manager of ANYANG KUANGYE INVESTMENT LIMITED, the company that owns the minerals shows that the trucks were loaded with lead, zinc and barytes from Plateau State and headed for a company in Port- harcourt.

The manager said he was not aware of the arrangements by the driver to carry any other person apart from the motor boy and a company escort, and that, they were strictly warned not to carry anyone else in the trucks.

How did 73 men coordinate themselves from different parts of Nasarawa and ended up in one truck?

The last time I checked, both okada and keke are banned in Owerri, do they want to ride okada inside Oguta lake?

Unfortunately, somebody will deliberately fail to find out their real mission.

Nasarrawa guys are known for okada business, here in Ogun state they come and rent houses in groups, they have unions. They might be hausas but not fulanis and they even hate fulanis. I don't think those guys are terrorist, just hustlers looking for greener pastures.

In a country with a 200m population to feed…
Able-bodied youths shouldn’t be short of work opportunities, if they’re ready to get their hands dirty.

Also for a nation that routinely import artisans from Benin Rep, Togo, etc…
Able-bodied youth can carve out a nice living by investing less that the cost of an Okada bike in basic artisanal skills.
>

Welcome to my country. I know a family that makes less than 40k monthly but with a large portion of land in the village, I called them, gave them a template that can be generating over 100k monthly in the village, they choose to stay in town. Life is about choice.

The Police have done well to arrest them due to insecurities in the country cos the devil may appear in sheep cloth so proper investigation should be done to know if they came for destruction or for legit business
