22-yr-old boy travelling from Lagos to Anambra arrested with a gun and a POS machine in Edo State
The Edo police command has detained a 22-year-old man named Francis Okoye Obinna who was travelling from Lagos state to Anambra state on April 7 after it was reported that he had a rifle and a POS on him.
According to a command statement, he was subjected to a stop and search during which a Brownie pistol bearing breach number PZ1833, nine rounds of 6mm ammunition, and a point-of-sale machine were purportedly discovered on him. Obinna said in his confessional statement that he got the gun to threaten Mr. Paul Okoye, who he alleged killed his father in Anambra State using a charm, from a man named Emma in Lagos.
The Command sent agents to Lagos to investigate the veracity of his claim.
