Some men from Imo State, who were heading to the North, were intercepted in Nsukka, Enugu State, by men of the Nigerian Army as they were travelling in disguise with a bus to their destination.
One of the army officers who spoke to reporters under anonymity disclosed that a Police Corporal also serving in Imo State Police Command was involved in the dirty arms deal.
The army officer said: “When we asked the occupants of the vehicle to come down, we discovered a police corporal in uniform among them. The corporal on getting down pretended to be pressed; he later ran away."
Items recovered from the suspected Boko Haram arms dealers include 40 AK47 magazines, 4 boxes of AK47 live ammunition, 100 pieces of live cartridges, Mopol khaki and charms concealed in a cap.
The men have all been handed over to relevant security apparatus for appropriate action.
