The National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons has decried the increased activities of unauthorised organisations taking over its responsibilities of removing and destroying illegal firearms in circulation.
Samaila reminded all stakeholders and partners in the war against illicit weapons of the enormity of the centre’s mandate and the necessity to operate within legal boundaries.
He added, “The centre remains the only government-sanctioned body charged with the responsibility to checkmate the proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons in Nigeria, and it is crucial to note that any infringement on the duties of the centre will attract legal sanctions.” NCCSALW was established under the Office of the National Security Adviser by former President Muhammadu Buhari on May 3, 2021, with the mandate to prevent and control proliferation of small arms and light weapons in collaboration with stakeholders towards strengthening peace and security in Nigeria.All rights reserved.
