Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has hailed the Nigerian Army for discovery of a gun factory making different types of guns and arrest of some suspects in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, describing the feat as a breakthrough.
MURIC’s executive director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, who said the exercise was carried out by soldiers of “Operation Safe Haven”, stated that efforts were still going on to apprehend the remaining suspects.
MURIC said the operation is 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 Kaduna State.
It would be recalled that a gun-making factory was discovered in Kafanchan, Jemaah Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Friday, 22nd September, 2023. Different types of guns ranging from rifles, shot guns, 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.’’
