A Nigerian in the United Kingdom
Nosakhere Stephenson, 41, has been imprisoned for 16 and half years for supplying guns to hoodlums. Stephenson had been portrayed by the UK law authorization circle as an 'untouchable back up parent.'
The Nigerian was one of 18 men arraigned in the supply of weapons and ammo, taking after a West Midlands Police examination, as indicated by www.ibtimes.co.uk.
He was given his sentence on Thursday after a police operation uncovered him as one of the city's most productive illicit guns merchants.
A covert police operation, led over various months, saw police capture the development of weapons from suppliers to purchasers on five separate events.
Altogether, 14 men were ensnared in the offer of the dangerous weapons after a police sting set up in 2014 by the power's Serious and Organized Crime Unit with backing from the National Ballistics Intelligence Service.
Stephenson and his posse gave guns and shots to different lawbreakers, including those like the homicide weapon credited to the Aston shootings, which left two young ladies dead at a New Year party in 2003.
Letisha Shakespeare, 17, and 18-year-old Charlene Ellis kicked the bucket in a hail of slugs shot from a MAC-10 automatic weapon.
Police Chief Inspector, Simon Wallis, of the West Midlands Police's Serious and Organized Crime Unit, said, "Stephenson, otherwise known as Nosa, was generally viewed as the untouchable "adoptive parent" of the Burger Bar group, yet as this case goes to appear, no one is exempt from the laws that apply to everyone else. He was at the focal point of this profoundly composed and to a great degree perilous firearm supply arrange."
