The Nigeria Police says it has recovered 182 illicit arms and 430 ammunitions across the nation in its efforts to tackle crimes.
A statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed that the arms will be handed over to the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons.
The statement ordered all Commands and Formations to intensify efforts towards decimating the proliferation of illicit arms and ammunition in the country.
It, however, charged all Strategic Police Managers to deploy the additional distributed operational assets and manpower to ensure the emplacement of a proper security arrangement for the upcoming elections.
