Worried by the massive arms recovered in riverine communities of Ondo State, President Muhammadu Buhari will on Wednesday meet with nine governors of Niger Delta states in order to review the security situation in the oil producing region of the country.
This development was coming on the heels of massive arms haul in Ajapa in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
High calibre weapons were also surrendered by militants in some communities in Ilaje Local Government Area of the state.
Some of the recovered arms included Browning machine gun, General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), Daewoo K3, Colt Automatic Rifles, Breda 30, Fiat Revelli Modelling, several AK 47 rifles, one Rocket Launcher, CETME Ameli, Heckler & Koch MG4, tens of Pump Action rifles and some automatic cartridges.
Also surrendered were military uniforms, police bullet proof vests, dynamites, grenades, bombs and helmets.
