Arms Proliferation In Libya, A Risk To Nigeria? by 27naira(m): 7:00pm On Sep 07, 2011
The current arms proliferation in Libya has given a lot of Institutions cause for worry. In the current conflict, arms storage depots have been left unsecured, arms and weapons such as “man-portable air defense systems” (MANPADS) have been looted, and the Libyan countryside is “littered with abandoned munitions, unexploded ordnance and land mines.
The fall of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has touched off a race to secure his arsenal of portable, terror-ready weapons such as shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles, and part of the solution may be for the United States and its allies to go out and buy them. There is evidence that a few Soviet-made SA-7 antiaircraft missiles from Gadhafi's arsenal have reached the black market in Mali, where al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is active, said two U.S. government officials not authorized to speak on the record.
Now, the question is, given the fact that weapons and arms black market is very active in Niger which shares a porous border with Nigeria, what is security implication of this dreadful situation? What is our Government doing to secure our borders?
I think this should be a source of worry for every Nigerians and the states that share border with Niger.

Thats what I keep saying, you cant say anything about security with your boarders very porous. Our borders are not enough secured and our government is not even concerned about it. Trust me, one of the things that happen after war is high increase of crime. So many crimes that are indigenous to Nigeria now was never known or happened prior to the Nigeria-Biafra war. Tighten our boaders and protect the masses

Brought this up in one of my posts.
Niger is the only country separating us from Libya.

Our inability to monitor thousands of square miles of porous border is worrisome.
Aliens come in here and go like its nothing. undecided
