The Governor of Kaduna State ,Mallam Nasir El Rufai is now believed to be at a loss as to explaining how two huge trucks of arms and ammunitions was linked to him in the wave of a deadly heat of violence that has recently engulfed the Southern communities of the state.

In an exclusive investigations by The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria ,it was learnt that the politician with a presidential dream had sent the cache of arms to a Muslim group  for them to use in the orgy of violence but somehow it ended up with a Christian who blew up the lid on the secret arms racket.

The source who spoke to this reporter disclosed that the Governor is said to have instructed  that the muslim groups in the area in which violence is said to have erupted should use the arms to defend themselves to prevent any forms of aggression.

The source affirmed that as at the time of going to press ,the Governor had been begging Christians in the area and a lot of their top leaders within and outside the  state to douse the tension of the startling discovery as it was capable of destroying his political career.

The source speaks:”They want to turn Kaduna and Jos to muslim abodes at all cost and it is all the handiwork of the Hausa Fulani people but this cannot stand at all”

“I can assure you that we will rather all die in Kaduna than for that to happen ,I do not know what they want  but they derive a joy at attacking our people all the time”

The source added that the arms discovery took place just some few days  to the Christmas amidst a media blackout on the subject though the issue in the state had being widely reported in the Nigerian press.
