PRESS RELEASE:
KADUNA GUN FACTORY DISCOVERY : MURIC HAILS ARMY
Soldiers
of Operation Safe Haven discovered a gun factory making different types of guns
in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, on Friday,
22nd September, 2023. Some arrests were made while efforts are still
going on to apprehend the remaining suspects.
Meanwhile
the army has been hailed by an Islamic human rights organization, the Muslim
Rights Concern (MURIC) whose leader, Professor Ishaq Akintola, described the
operation as a major breakthrough and a significant eye-opener in the efforts
of security agencies and the Kaduna State Government to unmask those behind the
violence in Kaduna State.
The
full statement of the MURIC leader which was released in the early hours of Monday,
25th September, 2023, reads :
“A
gun-making factory was discovered in Kafanchan, Jemaah Local Government Area of
Kaduna State on Friday, 22nd September, 2023. Different types of guns
ranging from rifles, shot guns, AK 47 rifles, sub-machine guns, pistols and
ammunition were found by soldiers of Operation Safe Haven. Also found were
police and army uniforms. Among those arrested were Napoleon John and Monday
Dunia (https://punchng.com/army-uncovers-kaduna-gun-factory-recovers-26-weapons/).
“We commend the Nigerian Army for this discovery.
It marks a major breakthrough and a significant eye-opener in the efforts of
security agencies to unmask those behind the violence in Kaduna State.
“This discovery is another indubitable proof
of the world-class quality of Nigerian soldiers. Our soldiers are gallant
professionals. We are proud of them. Given the necessary equipment, motivation
and welfare, no army in the world can outclass them.
“It
is noteworthy that the area where the weapons factory was discovered is in Southern
Kaduna (Kafanchan) while the apprehended suspects are Christians of the area
who have been at loggerheads with Muslims of Kaduna State for a long time.
“It
is our humble opinion that the pieces will soon begin to fall into place. The
Christians of Southern Kaduna have long been playing the victim game. They are
always the first to launch attacks and always the first to complain.
“But Nigerians and the rest of the world
believed them because they and their collaborators are the ones who write the
stories and they wield immense influence in the press. Now the wind has blown.
We have seen the rump of the hen. We can now see that the same Kaduna
Christians who claim to be the victims and who make so much noise are the gun
manufacturers, sellers and distributors of arms.
“We
charge the security agencies to relentlessly pursue the matter and to leave no
stone unturned until all the suspects are rounded up, prosecuted and punished
according to the laws of the land. The integrity of the army in particular is
at stake here. They must realise that the culprits have a lot of sympathisers
in the most unexpected places. The army must not allow any coverup or sabotage.
“We
invite the Kaduna State Government to assign the state ministry of justice to
liaise with the soldiers of Operation Safe Haven and the state police command
for easy close-marking of the matter until it gets to a logical conclusion. The
law must be allowed to take its due course.
“The
public is interested in the outcome of this investigation and the subsequent prosecution.
There must be no moonlight tales of dramatic or mysterious escapes. Nigerians
will hold the army accountable. Any prolonged interregnum is suspect. Only
regular updates will de-escalate this growing tension.”
