Illegal arms manufacturers in the country have been given an opportunity to let go the business and pursue a better career with the Defence industries corporation of Nigeria.
The Nigeria military will also be engaging citizens and experts in arms manufacturing who will register with the defence industries, as part of efforts in ending the production and proliferation of illegal arms in the country.
The Nigeria’s Chief of Defence staff, lieutenant general Christopher Musa is inspecting some of these arms and ammunition, locally fabricated, seized by the troops of operation Safe Haven within the joint operation area.
The growing production and proliferation of locally made arms and ammunition has become a major concern in the fight against insecurity not just on the plateau but in the country at large
Lieutenant general Christopher Musa after inspecting the seized weapons, reeled out the next step to take in tackling the illegal production of arms and ammunition in the country.
Security experts say, harnessing positive skills of law abiding citizens by the military authorities is in the best interest of the country.
