Nigerian Police Guns And Ammunition Missing - Audit Report by EnEnPeecee: 3:32am On Sep 03, 2017
- An audit report carried out by the Office of the auditor general of the Federation shows that several arms could not be accounted for in Nigerian police..

- The reports were released between in December 2016 and May 2017.

- Analysts say that there could be link between disappearances of the police arms and sources of arms used by kidnappers and armed robbers.



A good numbers of arms belonging to the Nigerian police could not be accounted for between 2013 and 2015, raising fears the weapons could have ended up in the wrong hands.
This is contained in a government audit report.

The report, released in two parts between in December 2016 and May 2017, is the latest from the Office of the auditor general of the Federation, Premium Times reports.

In the report, arms as well as rounds of ammunition entrusted to police personnel were said to have been “snatched”, “missing” or “lost”.


Cheta Nwanze, a security analyst said there could be link between the “disappearances of the police arms and sources of arms used by kidnappers and armed robbers.


“Yes, there is squarely a link between both. The fact is that Nigeria is awash with small arms and many of these characters get their arms from illegal sources. There is clearly a link between violent crimes and the disappearances of the police weapons,”
Mr. Nwanze, who heads SBM Intelligence said.


However, police spokesperson, Moshood Jimoh, said there was no cause for fear. He said “no police weapon was lost in the first place; so, there was no way police- owned guns could have ended up with criminals.

U will find what you are looking for in there.

We can read as you systematically avoided Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen as the beneficiaries of the missing weapons.
You can be scared of the truth but we are not.

You guys should stop spreading innacurate info about the police. I have it on good authority that some of the weapons went to eat when the counting was done and hence were overlooked. Other weapons tragically died in the line of duty during various operations against undesirable elements in the country.Two barreta pistols are on sick leave while one AK47 went to visit his daughter who recently put to bed. It was only one locally made double barrel gun that was caught conniving with criminal elements. He has been arrested and has already made useful statements in the course of interrogation. He will be made to face an orderly room trial and be summarily dismissed after investigation is complete
