Scoop: Security Personnel allegedly harvest over hundred AK47 riffles in Delta

 Seemingly crerdible pieces of information that filtered into Fresh Angle International today, Friday June 24, claimed that security personnel, precisely soldiers, on Friday June 17, harvested over hundred AK47 riffles from a controversial Hausa/Fulani settlement, behind the Udu Police Station at DSC in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.

A Professional Source, who corroborated the growing speculation to This Newspaper, on condition of anonymity in a telephone chat, stated that the riffles were taken away by the security details, without arresting any of the settlers. The soldiers, allegedly acted on local intelligence in carrying out the operation, which had been an issue of discourse in hushed tones within the last one week, before this report.  

“Udu Police Station at DSC is now a Fulani colony, they have taken over the area, back to Orhuwhorun. The whole of that line, is now being occupied by Hausas and Fulanis, they built small-small huts. They are tenants to nobody. It was last week Friday (June 17) that some security men got a tip-off and went to the area, they discovered over 100AK47 riffles and didn’t arrest anybody”, the professional source, narrated.

Recall that This Flagship Niger Delta Online Newspaper, had exclusively reported on Monday June 6 (exactly 18days ago) of an unverified speculation from a security source, suggesting that Boko Haram terrorists, may have infiltrated Delta State, particularly Warri area and Delta Central Senatorial District.

The Security Source, had urged residents of Delta State, particularly the Delta South and Central Senatorial Districts, to raise their security consciousness and promptly report suspicious situations to security agencies.

The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, worldwide had on Tuesday June 14, raised the alarm over what it described as the strange movements of suspected herdsmen in some riverine communities in Niger Delta, alerting indigenes of the Ijaw communities to be on red alert and avoid a repeat of the violent killings in Owo, Ondo State.

IYC through its National Spokesman, Ebilade Ekerefe, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, said intelligence report available to the Council, revealed that the movement of strange men under the guise of being Fulani herdsmen and non-indigenes, was making indigenes of the communities in the region very uncomfortable.
