The son of a late senior police officer has been arrested with
a cache of arms large enough to start a war.
A young man, Momoh Ogirimah, who claims to be the son of
a late Assistant Commissioner of Police, has been arrested for
being in possession of a cache of arms including rifles,
cartridges and magazines.
Ogirimah, who says he is a graduate of Industrial Engineering
from the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State, told the police
that his late father was the Commissioner of Police in charge
of operations and led the police team which was ambushed
and killed by the Ombatse cult members in Nassarawa State,
in 2014.
He also claimed that he discovered the cache of arms after
his father's death and has been keeping them for self defence
as well as using the guns to harass anyone who gets in his
way.
Ogririmah expressed regrets that he did not inform the police
about the cache of arms in his house, confessing that he
used one the guns to harass someone who had a
misunderstanding with his younger brother over money.
It was the victim that reported the incident to the police who
thereafter discovered the cache of arms.
The arms and ammunition recovered from Ogirimah include
one Baretta pistol with number A07078Z said to belong to the
Ondo State Command, one revolver pistol with number
RUHMRG799ABL said not to be on the record of any
command in the country and one locally-made pistol.
Others include 133 pieces of 7.62mm ammunition, 28 pieces
of .9mm ammunition, 22 pieces of 7.6mm ammunition, three
bulletproof vests, one respirator, one complete set of body
protector, three blasts, one hand grenade, 11 smoke
cartridges, 86 life cartridges, 42 pieces of 5.56mm
ammunition, two pieces of .36mm ammunition, 27 live rubber
cartridges, nine .9mm rubber bullets and one anti-riot helmet.
