Two of the suspects arrested by the troops of Operation Whirl Stroke operating in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba states, have confessed to supplying at least four AK-47 rifles and 2,000 rounds of ammunition to persons they described as politicians.
Force Commander of OPWS, Maj.-Gen. Adeyemi Yekini, said the two suspects, Dauda Atara and Andrew Imbwase, aka Don Moji, were the “major armourers” and suppliers of weapons to Benue’s most-wanted kingpin, Terwase Akwaza (aka Gana).
According to Punch.ng the troops had arrested 19 suspects in different parts of Benue and Nasarawa states for various offences bordering on armed banditry, kidnapping and weapons supply.
Parading the suspects at Tactical Air Command, Nigeria Air Force, Makurdi, on Saturday, the Force Commander of OPWS, Maj.-Gen. Adeyemi Yekini, said that 13 of the suspects were arrested in Gboko and Katsina-Ala areas of Benue State.
Among those paraded were two kidnappers who were arrested at Umaisha in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Speaking with journalists after the parade, Yekini said the troops had broken the weapons supply chain fueling criminality in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba states.
“Our star suspect today is Don Moji. He is the number one weapon supplier to Gana; he is responsible for between 80 and 90 per cent of weapons that Gana had been using to terrorise the people of Benue State.
“Our intelligence team got wind of Don Moji’s activities about four months ago somewhere around Abuja.
“Just as we were closing in on him to effect his arrest at Abuja, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared a few days later at Owode Idiroko in Ogun State.
