Many Weapons Used by Terrorists, Bandits Originally Belonged to Gov’t – NSA Ribadu

National Security Adviser (NSA) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has revealed that many of the illicit weapons currently used by terrorists and bandits in Nigeria originally belonged to the Federal Government.

Ribadu made this statement during an arms destruction exercise conducted by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW) at Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment in Abuja.

According to Ribadu, these weapons fell into the wrong hands due to corrupt elements within the security agencies.

He, however, said the country is capable of handling its security concerns.
