The National Security Adviser, NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu says a significant number of illicit weapons currently in circulation in Nigeria originally belonged to the Federal Government.

Ribadu stated this on Thursday during the destruction of illicit arms seized from criminals.

The destruction was conducted by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW) at the Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment in Abuja.

He explained that the weapons ended up in the hands of non-state actors due to corrupt elements within the security agencies.

The NSA condemned security personnel who facilitate the distribution of weapons to terrorists, bandits and other non-state actors.

He assured that the government will do everything possible to secure the country.
