youngies: Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro, has denied reports linking him to gunrunning and arms smuggling.

Moro also urged security operatives to investigate the allegation of gunrunning against him and also those behind it.

He said only such a move would serve as a deterrent to those whose motive was to pull down those holding political offices.

The minister said this in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. George Udoh.

Moro said those who made the allegation contradicted themselves in the report published by an online portal.

According to him, his accusers said the arms involved were imported by the Federal Government for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, insisting that he (the minister) did the importation of the said arms.

He also denied the report that he was arrested and prosecuted for being in possession of a pistol in Abuja, adding that the same court found him innocent and the allegation and acquitted him.

He explained that it was his driver, who doubles as his security aide, that was found with a pistol and not himself.

The minister argued that if arms and ammunition procured for the NSCDC were missing, the para- military organisation would have publicised it.

The statement added, “On the grave allegation of illegal arms importation and gunrunning, the minister said this is pure fiction. One, the political hacks behind this campaign have exposed their ignorance to the public.

“One day, they said that the arms were imported by the Federal government for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, then, in the same statement they said the minister illegally imported the arms. So which one should we believe?

“Furthermore, the NSCDC is a public office in a public domain whose comment could be sought to find out if there are missing arms rather than crying wolves when none exists.”

gistme24: So he had a security guard who drove him around with an unlicensed gun without his knowledge ? So the gun was for who's protection?

And before he starts boasting of being acquitted by a competent court, let us remind him that ibori was also acquitted by a competent court too.

Na foreign courts we trust these days

Zip_up:
well....until the foreign courts come along, maybe we should just shut up our mouths and wait. Don't you think so?

maryjames9: Quite on point. Denying an innocent driver after kasala busted. Is he so daft and clueless that he wasnt aware of driver's possession of weapons?

tutee1000: Something seems to be fishy here... how can the minister's driver also be his security aid? quite confusing..

maryjames9: Abegi leave story. All of them be thief. Gunrunner. Anything for extra millions our public office holders are all lions in sheep's clothing

gistme24:

Or keep our hands off the keypads

Zip_up:
...not a good suggestion-if u ask me. Emotional kids could play with their keypads for all they care, but elders like me should be around to moderate their conducts.

Paul onminyi: and who re u? Angel lusifa or judah's carot. All public office holder re thief as u said.y cnt u relocate 4rm nigeria 2 somalia.or b a president 2 change tins. All ur agurment is boil 4rm annoyance n abjective poverty n hatrt. Dnt hate d person dat God has bless. TUFIA

torkaka:

THE PROBLEM WITH JOBLESS YOUTHS LIKE YOU IS THAT YOU KEEP LOOKING AT THE MIRROR DECEIVING YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE SOME ONE ELSE! POOR CHILD! DESPERATELY LICKING ABBA MORO'S ARZ IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET CIVIL DEFENSE JOB

AS OF AUG 29TH, THIS WAS YOU;

[/b]"Does anyone have an idea of the pay package of society for family health? A hint on what their interview is like, will be appreciated too.
#Useful contributions, please."

[b]I THOUGHT YOU WERE A SELF EMPLOYED BIG BOY WHO EMPLOYS PEOPLE!

Zip_up:

^I wasn't kidding when i said you have problems with your comprehension skills. Fortunately, you have proved me right by your inability to comprehend a single paragraph write-up.
Usually, i don't respond to sill.y insinuations like this but you obviously need help.
I got a call from a niece who works with one of the conglomerate in the country NA SO! as a senior staff SHE WORKS AS A SENIOR STAFF YET YOU THREW AN OPEN QUESTION! WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK WHAT THE PAY PACKAGE FOR SAY A FINANCE MANAGER,SENIOR ACCOUNTANT OR HEAD OF ADMIN? (not a jobless moro.n like you) that she was invited for an interview by society for family health. She wanted informations about the organisation to help her decide on whether to attend the interview AND YOU ASKED FOR A HINT OF THE INTERVIEW? . When i couldn't get any reasonable information from google A SENIOR STAFF THAT CANNOT USE GOOGLE BUT HAD TO HIRE A GOOGLE EXPERT , i had to bring her questions to nairaland where i know there are reasonable members aside dummies like you.
Any intelligent reader would know that the information sought was not for my personal use given that there was no such words like 'i was invited...' or '...help me' used in the write-up. But a dimwit like you cannot notice that.
FYI: I am zip_up, a one man army. I don't need to change handle.
#There is still vacancy for a gateman in my company. You can apply for the job.Perhaps, i may decide to consider you for employment seeing that you are jobless and frustrated.

torkaka:

BROS YOU AINT GOT A KOBO ON ME!

Zip_up:
At least, now you know that I'm an employer of labour and that people consult me when they want to make a change of job decision.
Meanwhile, the decision to check-up google for an information was entirely mine and my quest for a hint on the nature of the interview was borne out of my desire to be of extra help to her.
Furthermore,I threw an open question because I can't afford to be too explicit on a public forum like this.
I hope i have been able to clear the doubts on your bended mind.
NB:The gate man job in my company is still available and I pay handsomely.Apply for the job and save yourself from this mounting frustration you are going through.
