Three Ak47s and one Rpg and ammo is hardly a large cache. BH must be starved of supplies. Now where is the source of the shipment. I pray they dont beat the driver to death before finding out

These can hardly fill a tanker compartment as reported.

Imagine 'investigations are still ongoing to ascertain the ownership of the arms'. I suspect foul play here really.
In a country like Nigeria, it won't take the Army more than 2 hot slaps to get a criminal confessing.

I just hope they won't sweep it under the carpet when they discover some political lords are the ones in charge of it.

Why should this be in the news now It should be when the army might have followed the driver to the owner's place and arrested them. That is how intelligence is done. Truth is, there are many more like this tanker driver.

GOD will never listen to this kind of prayer because we choose the way of man instead of the way of GOD. GOD never made us to be one, LUGARD did in the year 1914. Before then the JIHADIST was enjoying the visit of USMAN DANFODIO, while we in the south was enjoying the visit of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther. We the so called ONE NIGERIA have opposed and refused all entries to return us back as GOD made us and we still want GOD to come and save us.
