The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu has disclosed that a sizeable number of illicit weapons in circulation originally belonged to the federal government.
He stated that the weapons got into the hands of non-state actors due to unscrupulous individuals in the security agencies.
Ribadu said this at the arms destruction exercise by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW), at Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment, Abuja.
The NSA, who rained curses on security personnel who engage in giving weapons for terrorists, bandits and other non-state actors, assured that the government will do everything to secure the country.
