Operatives of the joint military intervention force, code-named Operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS, have uncovered another firearms manufacturing plant in Benue State.

The operatives also successfully arrested the arms manufacturer alongside nine others, including a wanted alleged kidnap kingpin and cattle rustlers operating between Benue and Nasarawa states axis.

Parading the suspects at the OPWS headquarters in Makurdi, the Force Commander, Major General Adeyemi Yekini, said six of the suspects were arrested in Nasarawa State, while four others were apprehended in Benue State. He explained that the arms manufacturing plant and the fabricator, Shekwa Terna, were discovered in Buruku Local Government Area of Benue State, following a tip-off.

General Yekini noted that “our operation is currently centered on breaking the supply chain of weapon proliferation in the country, because the increasing spate of arms manufacturing is alarming and it is fuelling criminal activities in the country.

“We are targeting weapon manufacturers as a way of breaking the supply chain with a view to reducing the amount of weapons in circulation and curtailing the spate of armed banditry and other criminal activities in the country.”

He added that Seidu Muhammadu, a notorious kidnap kingpin and cattle rustler, along with some of his accomplices, were nabbed in Nasarawa State while Moses Dzever, a gang member of the wanted militia leader, Terwase Akwaza, alias Gana, with one other member responsible for Gana’s logistics, was also arrested in Benue.



The arms manufacturer, who confessed to the crime, said he took over the business from his elder brother after he was arrested by the military months backs.

In his words: “I learned the work from my elder brother, who had earlier been apprehended. After his arrest, I took over the business. I was sleeping in my house when they came and arrested me. I sell the rifles to people in my community, while I sell the pistols to a client from Onitsha.

“Sometimes, when my client from Onitsha comes, he buys up to 15 weapons at once. So far, I have sold over 50 weapons since I started. But I now regret my action and wished I never went into this in the first place.”

Good!! Cut off their supply chain for arms and food

Nigerian Govt can be so stupid, you buy guns from foreign countries when your citizens can make guns "illegally"?! Why not make it legal and make them staff or whatever and turn it into a Nigerian gun production company?! sell the arms to other Countries that might be interested?! though 1st world countries might not buy but who knows? if for nothing else buy from them or employ them to produce guns for the government and save the cost of buying and importing from other countries. Just ensure their production meets the international standard. Useless country.

dem must find a way to link am to igbo people. customer from Onitsha, you try. the death in the east from gun is insignificant compared to the tons of bodies that fulani herdsmen have buried and the lives the federal government killed in Bayelsa this year. As a matter in interest, has anyone been held accountable for the deaths resulting from tanker explosions? all the managers of those companies need to go jail but they are free. uncovering a gun factory makes no sense at all. Nigerian army acts as if they aren't the same ones guarding the borders and waterways. they should investigate the Navy.
all these reporting is sheet. they just announced that they uncovered a factory. is this the picture of the factory? The picture is simply guns spread out. you can never trust anything that comes from the Nigerian government. when jungle justice holds its proceedings, everything is captured on camera and the public is invited. Nigerian government only invites the public to read stupid stories that they have cooked up. show us the video of the raid and show us how these men are captured. I have pallies who are soldiers and they show me videos from their mobile of stuff. all these nonsense gun factories are bull craps.

the real gun factory is in those elected servant's homes and pockets. a senator slapped a lady, have you heard anything further from the case?
Ganduje was busted, did you hear anything?
All the recovered loot, did you hear anything?

My problem be say all these strong men no day know who to hammer. them go day pepper poor men when we all know where dollar vault day. Should it take the army to uncover these things when we have the police? wetin army find go factory in the first place? the army steps in when the police invites them.

i tire for africa. see the way people day naked anyhow. no moral again. yahoo boys are worshipped and celebrated. Bobrisky is a millionaire and a celebrity. Why dem kill Anene? For the same crime way dem take day celebrate people today o.

see our girls na hotel dem full. and we go day act like say we get moral. hypocrites. I just wish say dem go colonize us again.

Instead of the government to gather these guys and empower them, they will rather depend on western manufacturers who will take our money and give us a future impossible date to supply.

Regret that you found yourself in a country that has failed to utilize your skill set, not your action.

And all their past sins which include aiding and abetting murder, kidnapping and other senseless atrocities are washed away.

Clap for yourself for the suggestion to reward criminality and illegality just because of parochial benefits.

Nonsense

Have you seen the movie 'catch me if you can'? We think like stupid people in this country and sometimes we deserve the idiots that rule us. We are talking about value, their values is much more than their crimes. They are manufacturers, it's easy for the enemies to use them and give pay them little why cant the government use them for greater achievement.

Ever heard of nigeria army arms manufucturing company in kaduna? So because they have a gift they shouldnt be apprehended. Do u think he sells the gun to vigilante members or the goverment? If u support the arrest of bomb makers in the north east and u re against this one then u re a hypocrite.

Gun factory owners should be treated as murderers.

Insecurity in Benue has always been on the high side.

Cultism is a big concern there
