The statistics on the aberration of the presence of small and light weapons in the country are alarming. According to Small Arms Survey, a Swiss-based non-profit, in 2020 Nigeria had an estimated 6.2 million arms in the hands of civilians, beyond those belonging to the military and law enforcement agencies. This is by far the highest number of small arms and light weapons held by civilians in any African country.
In the United Kingdom, the agency responsible for border security is the Border Force. This law enforcement command operates within the Home Office and plays a critical role in securing the UK border.
This will enhance national security because a unified border force could streamline security efforts by combining the expertise and resources of both agencies, and this coordinated border management would improve surveillance, intelligence sharing, and response to security threats. A single agency could harmonise policies, procedures, and protocols for border management for consistent enforcement and control across land, sea, and air borders.
