motorcycles and two commercial cars were found.

On Saturday, residents of Unity Estate, Poro-Imope, Idiroko, along Itamaga-Ijede Road, Ikorodu, discovered a junk yard where live ammunition was allegedly kept nearby.

At the yard that was allegedly run by a group of non-Yoruba guys, two commercial vehicles, a few disassembled motorcycles, and personal effects were also seized.

According to eyewitness reports, the discovery occurred at around 12.30 p.m. when a resident who was passing by noticed a suspicious movement by the group and subsequently raised the alarm, drawing the attention of other residents.

Apart from the strange move, one of the residents, Mr. Alao Kehinde, who informed Vanguard about the finding, claimed he saw the men packing the stuff into two vehicles with the intention of traveling to an unspecified location.

Before the vehicles pulled off, the man is alleged to have swiftly warned his neighbors.

Three suspects were reportedly captured as a result of some Oodua Peoples' Congress, OPC, and Ikorodu Peace Initiative members reportedly rushing to the area.

Additionally, "the scrap yard has been functioning in the vicinity for some time, but until we saw what happened today, no one imagined that they could be trading in cartridges,"

The three suspects, together with the cartridges, vehicles, and other stuff, were reportedly given to Igbogbo Division personnel for questioning.

Ikorodu Ambassadors Group founder Rasheed Fatuga, who was among the first on the scene and spoke with Vanguard, said, "I took the suspects to the Police station, I rode with the Ikorodu Peace Initiative in their car.

Residents of the neighborhood exposed the yard and raised the alarm, drawing law enforcement agents.

"Operations of Ikorodu Division of the Lagos State Police Command have intercepted two commercial buses loaded with large quantities of live cartridges, three disassembled motorcycles, and some personal effects at Poromope Estate, Ijede Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State," said SP Benjamin Hundeyin, Spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, in a statement confirming the discovery.

The suspects, Tukur Abdullah (m), 35, Muazu Telim (m), 50, and Dahiru Idris (m), 36, were reportedly traveling to Katsina State, according to preliminary investigations.

The vehicles with the license plates KMC 438 YK and KMC 394 XF, along with the suspects and recovered evidence, have all been delivered to the Lagos State Command Headquarters in Ikeja for additional investigations.

Real life dragon’ found in Mongolia: Origins revealed - see video

A video purporting to be footage of a “real life dragon,” allegedly “caught” in the wild, has been doing the rounds on Twitter – and not for the first time. The present iteration of the viral video has picked up more than 160K likes on Twitter. Daily Loud shared it and encouraged their followers to “decide” if the supposed “dragon” is real or fake. On Reddit, people have already started joking that it’s the body of Arrax, Lucerys Velaryon’s late dragon from House Of The Dragon. Are ‘real life Mongolian dragons’…real No. Dragons – at least, dragons with long necks and long tails and wings – don’t exist in real life. But even with its unreality established, a question remains. It might not be a “real dragon,” but it is a real animal? Strange animals have washed up on beaches before, prompting confusion. One Reddit user suggested, perhaps sarcastically, that the video actually shows a “bear with mange.” They might not be serious, but they’re giving voice to a natural human instinct:...

Nigerian pharmacists are leaving, says the chairman of the PSN - Feed9ja

The Osun state chapter of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) raised concern over the recent wave of pharmacists leaving the nation as they celebrated World Pharmacists Day with their counterparts around the world. Responding to inquiries from journalists in Osogbo, the capital of Osun state, on Sunday, Professor Moses Akanmu, the state's PSN chairman, said that pharmacists from various professions today prefer to look for greener pastures abroad rather than practice in Nigeria. While bemoaning the recent surge in the production of phony pharmaceuticals, he revealed that the association would deworm 2,000 youngsters throughout the state's municipalities in honor of its 30th anniversary, which coincidentally happened to fall on the same day as Pharmacist Day internationally. "Many pharmacists are emigrating from the nation," he said. People are departing, including academic pharmacists, industrial pharmacists, hospital and administrative pharmacists, and commun...
