 The National Security Adviser, NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has
stated that a significant number of illicit weapons currently in circulation in
Nigeria originally belonged to the Federal Government.

Ribadu stated this 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 the weapons ended up in the hands of
non-state actors due to corrupt elements within the security agencies.

The NSA condemned security personnel who facilitate the
distribution of weapons to terrorists, bandits and other non-state actors.

He assured that the government will do everything possible
to ensure the country’s security.
