Guns and Whammo

A bunch of naija military officers were fingered for gunrunning recently. An audit of arms and ammunition "could not give an accurate account for nearly ten thousand General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), and over five thousand riffles [sic] and thousands of boxes of grenades and other ammunitions." That's a lot of heat. Supposedly the weapons were bought by "criminals" in neighboring countries and by "militant groups" in the Delta region. One of the guys had to be recalled from a peacekeeping mission, probably the African Union Mission in Sudan, to face charges.
