The Niger State Police Command has expressed worry over the illegal importation of arms and ammunition into Nigeria from Benin Republic.
According to the Command, some criminally minded Nigerians have been bringing in lethal materials through the Babana borders in Borgu Local Government area of the state.
This development is coming on the heels of the arrest of no fewer than 104 suspects within February alone.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who briefed the press today, Tuesday, on the efforts of the force to clamp down on criminals and criminality, said that no fewer than 12 revolvers and pistols were recovered from those bringing in arms into the country “just in one arrest.”
