The Anambra State government has broken silence on arms discovery in the industrial town of Nnewi in Anambra State.
Recall rumour on the grapevine say arms were discoveredin a vehicle off loading yams at Nnewi.
But in a statement signed by the Commissioner of Information, Tony Nnacheta, “the state government and security agencies have undertaken exhaustive investigation into the story and found it to be false.”
He dismissed the rumour with a trivial hand as a ploy by mischief makers bent on creating unnecessary tension in the state.
“It is regretful that irresponsible characters will let their imagination run riot and proceed to spin that through electronic messages on the unwary public. ''
''It is obvious that this is an attempt to set up our people against themselves, create suspicion and unnecessary tension where they harvest mischief and unsavoury reactions,” he said.
Meanwhile, reidents of Nnewi have been charged by the state government to go about their normal businesses as the, Chief Willie Obiano in conjunction with security agencies had provided them the benchmark for community security.
Responding, the Commissioner of Police in Anambra, Mr Sam Okaula told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview yesterday in Awka that nothing of the sort occurred.
“What actually happened was that on June 12, a member of vigilance operatives went to a pit somewhere in Uruagu, Nnewi, and dug out two rusted old magazines and ammunition.
“The vigilante operative drew the attention of the President-General of the community, Mr Charles Nwonye, who ultimately informed the police, and I directed the officer in charge of SARS, Awkuzu, to recover the items.
“We are surprised that a senseless story is making the rounds that large cache of ammunition was discovered in a lorry that conveyed yam tubers into the community to cause mayhem.Nothing of sort happened in this command.
“It is falsehood at its height. We wonder who is peddling this senseless rumour,” he added.
