Amosun: Ogun Police chief deny receiving rifles, four million ammunition - The Nation Newspaper

Makama explained that physical counting of the ammunition showed there were “one million, four hundred thousand and some fractions,” a variation from the four million Amosun had told him while he was being disarmed.

According to the report, Amosun had allegedly confessed to CP Makama on the presence of the firearms and ammunition on May 28, a day before he handed over power to his successor Dapo Abiodun.The story generated massive outcry with social media users demanding the immediate arrest and prosecution of Amosun, now a Senator representing Ogun Central district at the National Assembly.

“I came in and one day when he was about going, he said CP, I have some materials I want to handover to you. Even if he didn’t buy them for the police or didn’t hand them over, I have a responsibility to disarm him and that was what I did. It was gathered that an approval was granted from the office of the National Security Adviser to allow states expanding their resources to empower the police have standard armoury at the Government House.

I have learnt to comment on national issues in Nigeria with great caution. I told a friend this evening that I am sure that news is fake. Amosun bought and handed over 1000Ak47s to the police in 2012 and here we are in 2019 with irresponsible journalism spreading falsehood
