A video has surfaced online capturing the moment security operatives seized sacks loaded with live bullets in a golf car on Abuja highway.
The video has since stirred tension as concerned Nigerians online demand a swift investigation and public disclosure of those behind the scary act.
While security agencies are yet to issue an official statement as of the time of filing this report, social critic and public affairs analyst, Mahdi Shehu, has raised fresh security concerns, sharing the video via his X account (formerly Twitter) showing security operatives intercepting the large stack of live ammunition
He disclosed that preliminary details indicated that the ammunition was being transported by a driver acting on instructions.
According to him, “The driver was given the toxic killer bullets to transport. Another person is accompanying the said bullets.”
He added that the telephone contact of the supposed receiver had already been obtained by security personnel.
Shehu insisted that the chain of actors behind the intercepted ammunition must be unravelled, from manufacturers to financiers.
“The real owner and the ultimate receiver and utilizer should be easily traceable. It is important to identify the whole roots from the fabricators, to their financiers, distributors and the receivers,” he said.
Expressing worry over the implications of such arms movements, the activist warned that the incident signals a deeper national security challenge.
