Nigerian Government Summons Turkish Ambassador

Turkish Ambassador, Hakan Çakıl

The Nigerian government has summoned the Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Hakan Çakıl.

The meeting expected to hold on Friday was called over massive illegal shipment of arms from his country to Nigeria.

Nigeria will express dissatisfaction over the situation and also demand immediate action to curb the menace.

Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs, Col Hameed Ali (rtd.), said the service was collaborating with the Directorate of State Service (DSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) to tackle the increase in importation of illegal firearms.

Ali, on Thursday, disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari discussed the matter with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoan, at the on-going United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

It would be recalled that operatives of the Tin-Can Island Command on Wednesday apprehended another container containing guns, less than two weeks after similar discovery.

Customs in a statement said the guns were found in a 20ft container with No. CMAU189817/8 from Turkey.

“It was transferred to the enforcement unit, where 100% examination revealed 470 pump action rifles as against elbow plumbing plastics on its bill of lading”, it read in part.

“Importer of this deadly cargo is Great James Oil and Gas Ltd, while the vessel is MV Arkas Africa owned by Hull Blyth.

“This discovery brings to a total of 2671 rifles seized within the last eight months of this year.”

    Nigeria has been signing arms deal recently. They are diverting those purchased arms for Fulani herdsmen and northern sharia extremists for execution. Oct.13 is pregnant, I insist!

    Maybe Turkey rejected bribe from Buhari administration. The fake corruption fighters, have been traveling to every top European countries, taking Nigeria funds to bribe them, against biafran dream. Turkey/Amnesty International, have refused to accept his bribe.buhari has ok with both.

    Then Turkey should retaliate, by cutting Nigeria off, diplomatically

    Looking for a steady way to make money (not quick money o)? _You are at the right place now._ It’s *_NAIJATAXI SERVICES_*

    *https://www.naijataxi.com/register/?mref=1018

    *WHAT IS NAIJA TAXI?*
    A company that deals with transportation of people from place to place upon placement of order (I guess you know UBER right?). It’s a lot cheaper than UBER because they operate at a flat rate

    *SO HOW DO I MAKE MONEY FROM NAIJA TAXI?*
    It’s very easy, create an account with them and post an ad to your Facebook just to advertise their company. For every ad you post on your Facebook, you make #500. You can make a minimum of #15,000 in a month or even more.

    *IS REGISTRATION FREE?*
    NO, otherwise it would be abused. Registration is 5k per month; but there is option for 24hr free trial just to test run how the system works, after which you pay.

    *THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM*
    I thought so too until i gave it a try, now I am enjoying it big. It’s just like saying UBER is SCAM. The company is registered with the government and is currently operating in Lagos, Abeokuta, kwara state etc. So it’s not a ponzi scheme neither is it scam. ITS REAL. people are currently making it in the system.

    *DO I NEED REFERRALS*
    Not particularly, it is not compulsory. You do not need referrals to make your money, but for every referral you get, you are given a bonus of #1000

    *CAN I GROW IN THE BUSINESS*
    Yes, you can work your way from becoming and affiliate member to becoming a senior manager where you will be giving a taxi on your name and thus you will be making 50k per month. This is MIND BLOWING, right?

    Payment is made directly to the company’s account unlike in ponzi where payment is made to people’s account. There is accountability. Join the growing business and make a steady step into becoming rich.

      September 22, 2017 at 5:21 pm

      True, you’re right but not to disrupt the peace of a country you’re told to come and serve as a diplomat, it makes the host country uncomfortable and it’s not acceptable by any international law !

    This FGN propaganda will even promote and solidify the diplomatic ties between Biafra and Turkey. Trying to black-mail Turkey through a fabricated illegal importation of firearms is a suicidal mission for the Zoo called Nigeria. And they think Turkey will clap them or back off their support for Biafra? They Nizooria must be dreaming

    Buhari made himself the UN president. he only talk about the UN problem without minding the recession he plunge Nigeria into. hypocrite and devilish. Buhari speech at the UN general election is written by British high commission.
