Customs intercepts 661 rifles in Lagos

Should I give kudos to gallant custom officers that intercepted 49 boxes containing 661 pump action rifles illegally imported from China.What are the guns meant for? to hunt game or what.It is likely politicians are stockpiling weapons for 2019 election, you may say it is still far,I do not think so.

Three people have been arrested and so what, is this the first time we have people arrested over illegal importations.The importers of these ammunitions are the real enemies of this country.They are sacred cows, their names will not be mention let alone getting them arrested.Those people arrested are not the real culprit and I am very sure they will soon be released.

How did they source for forex to purchase the riffles, the riffles was purchased with dollars not naira. Factories are closing down due to unavailability of forex, yet some ignoramus could access forex for purchase of deadly weapons.

SARS Reformation Long Overdue.

Special anti-robbery squad reformation is long overdue, reports of violence, maltreatment of people in the hands of SARS officers leaves much to desire. The squad is established primarily to stem the tide of armed robbery, when idea of forming an organisation like SARS was conceived there is nothing like Yahoo-Yahoo or 419. One is surprised that they abandoned their core duties and lay siege on fraudsters, many innocent people have been killed. Government should ensure that the reformation is total, police are suppose to be friends of the masses, it is imperative they conduct themselves professionally.

END OF THE ROAD FOR IFE-IBADAN ROADS

Motorist plying Ife-Ibadan road will heave a sigh of relief temporarily after arrest of some of the Fulani men that terrorize road users almost on daily basis. Many innocent lives have been snuffed out, these undesirable elements have field days and it seems those who are suppose to check their activities are dragging their feet. Now that government is ready to combat crime on our highway, the tempo should be sustained.
