The National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has stated that a significant number of illicit weapons currently in circulation in Nigeria originally belonged to the Federal Government.
Ribadu made this statement on Thursday during the arms destruction exercise conducted by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW) at Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment in Abuja.
He explained that corrupt elements within the security agencies allowed these weapons to end up in the hands of non-state actors.
The NSA condemned security personnel who facilitate the distribution of weapons to terrorists, bandits, and other non-state actors.
The recent insecurity surge in Nigeria is a pressing concern, and the statement from National Security Adviser sheds light on a significant factor contributing to this issue.
The northern part of Nigeria has been grappling with banditry, insurgency, and kidnapping for ransom over the past decades, which has spread across other regions in the country.
