The illegal arms displayed before destruction in Gusau, Zamfara State capital, on Monday, May 14, 2018


The Presidential Committee on Small Arms and Light Weapons in Gusau on Monday destroyed 5,870 illegal arms and ammunition recovered by the Zamfara Government.

The exercise marked the launch of the pilot stage of the destruction of arms and weapons recovered from persons who illegally held them.



The recovery in Zamfara was made from repentant bandits who surrendered their weapons to the state government Committee for Peace, Reconciliation and Disarmament, headed by the deputy governor, Ibrahim Wakkala.

The exercise which took place at Zamfara Trade Fair Complex in Gusau, was chaired by the chairman of the Presidential Committee, Emmanuel Imohe.

The event was attended by Zamfara governor, Abdul’aziz Yari and his deputy, Wakkala, representatives of international agencies such as the EU, ECOWAS and UNDP as well as security agencies and traditional rulers.

In his remark, Mr Imohe said the exercise was aimed at destroying a total of 5,870 arms and ammunition received under Zamfara state disarmament initiative.

“Apart from the destruction of illegal and recovered arms, one of the mandates of this presidential committee is also to improve livelihood of the people and communities that surrendered their weapons.



“Zamfara is one of the seven states in the country selected by the Federal Government for a pilot programme.

“This programme is also a flat form for raising awareness of dangers associated with the circulation of illegal weapons that have killed, injured and terrorised people all over the world,” he said.

Mr Imohe commended Zamfara for initiating the disarmament programme which resulted to the recovery of over 5,000 small arms, ammunition, grenades, automatic and semi-automatic weapons.

“I am happy to be associated with this laudable efforts made by Zamfara State Government.



“I consider this as one of great achievements recorded by this committee, I thank the state disarmament committee led by the state Deputy Governor, Malam Ibrahim Wakkala, and all stakeholders who contributed to the success recorded.

“You know, this committee was inaugurated in April 2013 by the Federal Government with the mandate to be the focal point in the efforts of the country to address the movement of illicit illegal arms and light weapons.

“We are working with international organisations to conduct practical disarmament at border communities in the country and provide a support for repentant bandits,’’ he said.

In his remark, Mr Yari thanked the Federal Government for setting up the presidential committee and international organisations for their efforts for peace and stability in the state and country.



Mr Yari said the state had recorded many deaths, casualties and huge losses in economic activities as result of cattle rustling and banditry.

He said such losses necessitated the setting up the Peace, Reconciliation and Disarmament Committee by the state government.

“The Committee since inception has recorded great successes of recovering over 5,000 illegal arms and large number of repentant bandits across the state.

“We are witnessing the destruction of these illegal weapons today, we are going to continue to give all the necessary support to Federal Government and all stakeholders as regard to improvement of security in the state and country at large.



“We are going to provide authentic lists of repentant bandits and those who surrendered their arms and submit it to the Federal Government for assistance with the aim of changing their livelihood,” he said.

The Zamfara Government in an effort to address security challenges in the state in 2016 set up the Peace, Reconciliation and Disarmaments Committee.

Similarly, the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, in March ordered the recovery of all illegal arms across the country to check the deteriorating security situation.

The word of God is more than codeine. Come and try it

the same word of God you're interpretation to suite yourself while the truth is staring us face to face when I read the word. I will never allow my self to be given a false interpretation by men but count on the Holy Spirit for he's interpretation and guidance.

brodalokie:
Did you know that Jesus Christ died at the hands of federal government by capital punishment?
John the Baptist was beheaded by the governor to please a teenage chick?
This is how it started, the Pharisees and scribes who were the political parties then would be winding them up and down for obvious facts...

what on earth made you to change the topic.... I hope you're not going nutts cos this mode swing is so rapid that it mimics that of a code-ine addict.

Ishilove:
Well, at least he looks like he is dying. He is now emaciated and all his favourite food is being rejecteted.

He has lost all his teeth and only eats soft food. He is even rejecting fish and ordinary soup. The poor thing is perpetually hungry but when we give him food, it is the lizards in the compound and neighbourhoods birds that it (you should see how fat those lizards are now).

Can anyone suggest what to feed a sixteen year old dog who seems to have lost his taste for food? Please, it hurts so much watching him waste away. Yesterday he was staggering around like a drunk because of hunger. We had to feed him left over meat pie and gala before he could get himself.

Please, suggest something.

*sob*



PS- My dog's name is Ruggedman, so no one should go and harass the rapper with 'get well soon' messages.

that's old age bro, he's age equivalent to humans v is 112yrs. That's a good time on earth. That was why the dog is already loosing it's teeth and body body conformity.

brodalokie:
That's tithing there. Not everything is written in black and white

brodalokie:
Read Genesis 4 vs 3

Genesis 4v3: and in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering into the LORD (KJV).......Now, did you read this passage or you just know the verse. So you don't know the difference between a tithe and an offering. For your information, Adam nor Cain nev r gave tithe as stated any where in the Bible, unless if you're only being hypocritical, then I pardon your hypocrisy.

OboOlora:
Op, I will try and understand what you r trying to say but lemme drop a few lines:

this is referring to real men of God that were called not god of men that called themselves right? I hate to cram so I might not know the exact bible verse but I’m sure the same Bible also said there would be a lot of fake pastors as the world comes to a near end.

Always be objective in your opinion, it’s like telling me I should respect and not speak ill of Revd King, a confirmed murderer.

Nor vex me this Sunday morning oh

thank you jare..... help me ask them how to differentiate true men of God from fake once.

BankeSmalls:
This governor has lost the next election.

how I wish these present leaders passport would be seized prior to the elections so that they can face the full wrath of their deeds after loosing.

Where was it written in the Bible that the commandment to Adam not to eat that fruit was a tithe being payed by Adam? Only God can save us from these so called men of God.

Wait.... Is it the same binta I heard her preaching recently who's parent even wanted to kill and have elder brothers that are soldiers too?

Money answereth all things�

Why won't there be more suicide bombers when all buhari know how to do is free bh bomb makers and also empower them with millions of dollars to continue production of bombs all in the name of swapping them for chibok girls
