I actually failed Geography, not my forte! I still think the East should be annexed to cameroon! Its better for Nigeria that way.

PHIPEX: How did such a trailer load escape our security surveilance from Lagos all the way to Onitsha? How come it is fellow importers that caught it and not our Police? Kudos to the vigilant importers.

engineerd: Please give the eastern part of Nigeria to cameroon for God's sake!

AWKA—THE Anambra State branch of  Importers Association of Nigeria and the National Task Force against illegal importation of firearms and ammunition said yesterday that they had intercepted a trailer load of dangerous arms and ammunition in the commercial city of Onitsha.

Briefing newmen, Chairman of the Association, Chief Emma Nwosu, said the weapons had been handed over to the police, explaining that in view of the development,  the association was re-strategizing to fight illegal importation of arms and ammunition into the South Eastern states, especially Onitsha.

According to Nwosu, the primary aim of importers and the task force was to ensure that the good image of genuine importers was restored, noting that the importation of contraband goods and dangerous arms and ammunition was denting the image of genuine businessmen.

He said: “We are saddled with the responsibility of restoring the damaged image of  genuine importers by the illegal importers who have been importing prohibited goods into the country”.

Nwosu decried the level of insecurity at the country’s borders, urging  government to strengthen the importers associations and the task force against illegal importation to tackle the menace through intelligence gathering and proper surveillance on the movement of goods into the country.

Corroborating,  Head of Operations of the group, Chief Alex Igwemma, lamented the high rate of insecurity in some parts of the country which he attributed to porous borders and called for active participation of stakeholders to curb the menace.

Igwemma said the association was working with relevant security agencies to arrest the illegal importers of dangerous explosives and other weapons across the country and urged the public to volunteer useful information to relevant agencies.

He added that Onitsha sea port when operational would be under serious security surveillance to check the proliferation of importation of illegal goods and arms and ammunition into the city.

Arysexy: The so called traders that intercepted this arms are f.0.0l.s! while ur kinsmen are murdered and hunted like game by these uncircumcised hausa bastards in d north, the effort ur well thinking brodas are making to defend our ppl is being truncated by this anuofias! SMH! any igbo dat has not armed himself should be ready to die like a fowl. Buhari has once again inspired his almajiri army ahead of 2015 by the 'dog and baboon hausa blood' an igbo proverb says " agha akara aka anaghi eri nwa ngwuro" ( an announced war does not consume d crippled)

Hehehe lekwanu Achi4U umu bagger gbara aka na nti ya e change o school from Oko Poly to Our Saviour Poly Enugu na in dey shout War. Azi gbakwa ihe ojo.

Imanuelle: Dey should have spread d weapons amongst demselves and butcher every mallam on-sight

sayusuf: igbo preparing for another civil war...this time around, we will razed you down to extinction..shegu

joeyfire:

I can bet they intercepted these weapons because they are under pressure (as arms dealers) to help check the spread of illegal weapons. I can bet that what was found was really heavy stuff ie automatic weapons and smg's

You are arguing against his opposition because? Nwoke mu, have you taken a look at Cameroon and compared it to Nigeria? Sh1t I rather have the entire Igboland in Cameroon than Nigeria anyday, any minute. You need to go seek an Igbo cameroon and ask them wetin dey happen? my guy you no go believe story. I truly wish engineered thing will come true. Any country is better than this f2ked up country.

@ thread
So the container surpassed Lagos and it's security team and made it all the way to Ontisha. What does that tell una? This country is f2king shame sha.

Anyway, the person that snitched is an 1diot. Who knows what they were planning to do with the arms. There are 2 option: 1.) it is for sale or 2.) protection for Igbo masses. If na 2 option, the snitch is an 1diot.
