Islamic group hails military for uncovering gun-making factory in Kaduna

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has hailed the military for uncovering a gun-making factory in Kaduna State.

Prof. Ishaq Akintola, the Executive Director, MURIC, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

Akintola described the military operation as a major breakthrough and a significant eye-opener in the efforts of security agencies and the Kaduna State Government to unmask those behind the violence in the state.

“A gun-making factory was discovered in Kafanchan, Jemaah Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Friday, Sept. 22. Different types of guns ranging from rifles, shotguns, AK 47 rifles, sub-machine guns, pistols and ammunition were found by soldiers of Operation Safe Haven.

“Also found were police and army uniforms. Among those arrested were Napoleon John and Monday Dunia.

“We commend the Nigerian Army for this discovery. It marks a major breakthrough and a significant eye-opener in the efforts of security agencies to unmask those behind the violence in Kaduna State.

“This discovery is another indubitable proof of the world-class quality of Nigerian soldiers. Our soldiers are gallant professionals. We are proud of them. Given the necessary equipment, motivation and welfare, no army in the world can outclass them,” he said.
