Following the reported discovery of a mini-gun factory in Offa, Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State, the community has said it would not allow any act of indiscipline and lawlessness.

The Navy, last weekend, said it discovered a mini-gun factory in the community.

It paraded Taofik Salau Toyinbo and Sunday Ogundele, who were alleged to be manufacturer and buyer of a gun.

The Commandant, Navy School of Health Sciences, Offa, Navy Captain Ima Ansa, paraded the suspect on the school premises on Irra Road, Oyun Local Government.

He said: "We arrested the man in a commercial bus coming from Irra, Oyun Local Government, going to Offa. He concealed a single barrel gun in a bag. It was during investigation that he said he bought the gun in Offa."

In a statement yesterday, the Secretary-General of Offa Descendants Union (ODU) Mrs. W. T. Macarthy said: "Offa is a law-abiding community and will not tolerate any act of lawlessness and indiscipline. It will always stand by the government in the steps to ensure the security of life and property of this great nation.

"The purported manufacturer of the gun, who the culprit claimed to have purchased the gun from, is a licensed gun repairer who has been in operation years back. The culprit is not an indigene of Offa but only a sojourner from Ife-Ore axis. From the submission of the culprit, evidence abounds that there is no link between him and the gun repairer and the community of Offa."
