Xion:
Those are not civil war bullets... They are corroded because of the soil moisture and whatever may be going on down there.

If they were civil war bullets, they wouldn't be an issue. I'm pulling up resources to prove these came after the civil war.

They just unearthed proof of an averted 'civil war'

I'll be back.

On 2nd thoughts, I found this image. Though I still stand by my first proposition.

Funny how people say these are not civil war bullets because they belong to the AK47 rifle.
We have too many dunces in this country.
So a weapon invented in 1947 cannot be used in a war in 1967?

Walahi, I sorry for Nigeria and her half baked experts.

Stelvin101:
Maybe it's was during the civil war

Possibly....

Some years ago, at a construction site in Uyo , some Civil war mines were found buried there.

They had to be blown up.

those bullet belong to an automatic rifle presumably the AK47... and as such it isnt the civil war bullets... someone bought them had no need for them again then buried them.... i think it was bought during election period by politicians.. or the biafra agitators...
metal will always corrode if buried without proper care... even at that i suspect its just dirt (soil stains) on the bullets... apply water and they are good for use...

Interesting....

AK47 was introduced to Nigeria during the Civil War by Biafra Army. Nigeria side intercepted some weapons on Sea from Biafra side and was distributed to war front to be used Nigeria army.
AK47 was used in latter part of the war. You can confirm from those who participated actively in the war. Not the political warlord.

When was the AK47 invented sir?

In case you cannot see the image very well, below is the caption under that photo.

TheFreeOne:
A startling cache of bullets have been evacuated from the earth in Agulu, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State in Nigeria’s south-east region.

The bullets were discovered while the foundation of a building project for a community member was being dug.

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr Sam Okaula, said several buckets were unearthed and that there were still some left which were yet to be brought to the surface.

The bullets appear to have been underground for years

Mr Okaula told reporters that investigation had commenced to determine who buried the arms and the reason behind it.

After the discovery, disquiet crept into Agulu, with villages worried about their safety.

At the scene of the discovery, while a worker evacuates the bullets, the State Commissioner of Police said investigation would also focus on when the bullets were acquired and who bought and buried the arms.

Mr Okaula urged residents to provide relevant information that would aid investigation, while also assuring them of the commitment of the police to battling criminality.

He said that the a high powered surveillance would be put in the area to ensure the police got to the root of the matter.

Meanwhile members of the community have said they were in the dark as to who purchased and buried them.

From the looks of these they look like something from the civil war era

Good question . I'm waiting for the answer as well

That's what you get when you encounter kids who think Telegram is just an app and never knew the original meaning or function.

Naija police go just wash and share the bullets.

Did they make use of AK-47 during the civil war? Was such a weapon out then? These bullets are just filled with mud thats all. I dont think they were buried more than 5 years years. Whosoever buried those bullets had heavy plans, probably to carryout a bank robbery, political war or intend to use it if a civil war should break out again.

Every bullet has the signature of it's manufacturer and the guns they are made for. It's not supposed to take the police anything stress to know everything about them.

Common sense would tell you that whoever buried the bullets never intended to reuse them.
If they were buried five years ago and intended for reuse, they would have been carefully wrapped in moisture proof materials or even inside bagco sack or Ghana must go bags.

Maybe you are still in your teens, but those of us who have seen many Christmases on this planet and sat at the feet of our grandparents know that this was a common practice during and after the war.
During the war because saboteurs would often finger their neighbours who acted as local armorer's etc and after the war because federal troops were looking for de-mobed soldiers and their arms and ammunitions.

Are bullets arms or ammunition?

So many folks suddenly became expert forensics, shouting "civil war!!!" Why the need to defend an ongoing investigation? The guilty are always afraid. Civil war ko, elect war ni, ndi ara

Why are Igbos so quick to defend this and hastily conclude the bullets are relics of the civil war? Do they think they are immuned to the destructions these bullets would have caused eventually. For all I care, it may have been buried by their own enemies. All they do is struggle to protect their image on social media AT ALL COST.My people lets stop and think for once.

Am i supposed to believe that those bullets were buried presumably 46 years ago? Hmnnn!

U shud b a prime suspect.........

Very funny!That reminds me of mama peace's ojukwu Is dead bt his manhood lives on!kul dis be d manhood she was refering to?Bullets!!

Is this a question. Even a child knows these are civil war relics. The question now is, are there other munition caches there especially high calibre ones which could be unstable and dangerous.

u know that agulu is the town where the civil war ended , so I might have been during the civil war

Really? You want to play the ethnicity card? I think those bullets are civil war relics. Why? Every location that has ever experienced large scale armed conflict has continually unearthed caches of arms, unexplored bombs etc. This isn't the first time weapons/ammunition dating to civil war era would be found in the South East (a little googling would help you there), so until the police concludes otherwise, I'll continue to believe those are civil war era stashes.
...and sorry to burst you bubble, I'm not even from the South as a whole talk more of being Igbo.

my friend ak47 has been in use since 1949 and made popular in the Hungarian revolution war of 1956 then it became present worldwide in 1956 so it was also used during the Biafra war

is it my mouth you want to hear that those bullet are made by nigerian government... under DICON... but code named OBJ..006.. the bullets modeled after NATO's 7.62mm*51 ammunition initially produced years after the civil war... and that is what we have in the picture... it is not my mouth u heard it from
the police truely need to investigate
and if truly those bullets are the civil war relics.. they would have gone off... that is- practically begin to explode( in lay man's term shoot) becos those type of bullet where so unstable and given the years the force of the unearthing will trigger them... even the heat of the sun will make some go off..... remeber ikeja cantonment bombblast of years back. it was caused because the AC in the room where this old unstable ammuniation was kept went bad and no one knew when the temprature bcame hotter they began to explod
so now you knw.... stop forming knowledge.. ignorant one

Thanks for the notice jorrrr. I hope I don chop this morning bcoz hungry dey make man dey very sensitive

caesaraba:
LWKMD! Oh really?

yes really...
sorry i spoke in advanced knowledge terms... becos if you know the ak 47 initially was produced in1944 approved in 1947 remodeled from 1946 hence those who know the difference will call it ak46 and many more variants exist... but becos their design model was based on the initial ak47 they are all nicknamed ak47.. most nations have their variants including ALMIGHTY NIGERIA ours is called OBJ006....
thank me for the knowledge acquired.
