Why I secured release of illegal arms, drone makers – Nwoko

SENATOR Ned Nwoko representing Delta North senatorial district, Delta State,  has secured the release of four family members the Army  arrested for fabricating weapons at Onicha-Olona community in the state.

The major suspect reportedly has the ability to build drones,  and modify Ak-47 rifle designed to hold 30 rounds to 60 rounds,  which attracted Senator Nwoko.

His desire was for  the nation to provide support and develop the skills of such talented persons, and he plans moving a bill for a law to recognise and build such talents nationwide.

Nwoko, in a statement, said: “ Following my recent visit to Headquarters,  63 Brigade, Asaba, and productive discussions with the Brigade Commander, I am pleased to announce progress in addressing the situation regarding the illegal arms factory discovered in Onicha-Olona community, Delta State.
