South African police said Thursday that they had boarded a Russian-registered cargo ship allegedly carrying illegal weapons and explosives en route to Lagos, Nigeria.

The vessel, named Lada, had reportedly left Madagascar before stopping at Ngqura port outside the eastern city of Port Elizabeth, where it was detained after a security check on Sunday.

“We are aware that she has dangerous cargo — explosives and weapons — on board,” Olwethu Mdabula, spokeswoman for the Transnet state transport company told AFP.

She declined to give further details.

Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, spokesman for the Hawks police investigative unit, confirmed to AFP that the vessel was carrying weapons.

“This is a very, very sensitive matter. It is receiving attention,” he said.

Local reports said police had searched the vessel after an anonymous tip-off and found weapons and explosives worth about $3.5 million in 20 containers on board.

Some lousy cretin will soon come here and claim its the FG.

The same FG that has been openly importing weapons for our military since will now hide to bring in these ones?

The opposers of this government are surely the ones behind this. Those who wish to discredit this government as they unleash death and terror everywhere.

Reminds me of when our dollars smuggled by that ineffectual buffoon through the then CAN chairman was seized by the same south Africa.

God will keep protecting those with good heart as he keeps frustrating the devices of our enemies.
