Fear In Onitsha As Truckload Of Live Bullets Falls by unity004(m): 7:33pm On May 09, 2021
Residents of commercial city of Onitsha Anambra State have been gripped with fear, following the fall of a truck loaded with live bullets in the area.

The Mercedes Benz 911 truck, which fell along Awka road in the city in the early hours of Sunday, had the cartons of the bullets spill into the drainage when it skidded off the road.

The contents made early morning worshippers to raise the alarm, which attracted the presence of heavy security men who cordoned off the arena

An eyewitness, who does not want to be mentioned, told The Nation the security situation had put everyone on the alert.

It was gathered the truck was moving the goods out of Onitsha to a yet-to-be identified location when the driver lost control and skidded off the road, making it fall into a ditch.
Another source said the truck fell around 5am when the driver and his conductor, after sustaining minor injuries, tried to evacuate and conceal the contents.

“But they could not do much before daybreak when some police operatives arrived the accident scene only to discover the truck was laden with a consignment of live bullets,” a source said.

Anambra Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed there was a lone accident at the spot.

On the cartons of bullets allegedly being conveyed by the truck, he said he had not been properly briefed on the situation.

However, he assured investigation had commenced into the matter, promising to get back to the reporter.

But a Senior Police Officer, who spoke with The Nation in confidence, confirmed the incident.

He added the driver of the vehicle had been arrested and the lorry impounded, adding the conductor escaped.

‘We are going to get to the root of the matter. The conductor is equally being trailed. It’s a very difficult times for everybody and people have to be careful,” he said

I honestly pity anyone supporting Kanu at this point. These guys don't know that wars in this modern era don't end quickly. There are too many suppliers of weapons that would make sure none of the side lose so that they can keep supplying them.
They always think Yorubas that love peace after fighting over 100 years of war are stupid

My thinking is the same way some people are being suspected of planning and preparing for war , another group should be inaugurated to be planning for peace , holding peaceful seminar on why peace is important and the way forward to achieving peace, raising money to empower people in the Region who are not employed , taking peace messages to every nook and cranny of the east , powered by the governors and philanthropist etc

But then will the Government Agents like the police, military etc allow them to work without harassment , will they not be embarassed and called names by the same foolish nigerians who called biafra online republic

The Nation newspaper is Afonja paper .

What is afonja problem in this even if the SE turn to Somalia? Those bullet are procured by Mazi Ohamidike to continue his crusade in the SE and rid us of policemen to the last man.

Even if all the policemen we are killing are our fellow Igbo men and women, what is Afonja own? Ojukwu caused the death of more people than what Mazi is doing currently and Mazi Kanu already said he will break the record of Ojukwu so efulefu Yoruba media should keep off.

Even if SE turns to Borno, what is Afonja own? Mazi Kanu already said he will destroy everything in the SE and rebuild them back after the Zoo give us freedom.
