THE National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, is full of criticism for policemen and soldiers stealing and selling arms and ammunition from their formation to criminal elements.
Ribadu stated this in Abuja on Friday during the destruction of arms by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms And Light Weapons.
According to the National Security Adviser, security agents involved in the act are “worse human beings”, adding that efforts must be put in place to check those people.
He added, “We have to find a way of putting a stop to this if we want to recover our country and live in peace and stability”.
“The worst human being is a policeman or a soldier who will take arms from his own formations and sell them or hide them out for the bad people to come and kill his own colleagues,” he said.
Ribadu also rained curses on the security personnel who facilitate the movement of weapons to terrorists, bandits, and other non-state actors as he disclosed that a sizable number of illicit arms being used to commit crimes in the country originally belonged to the government.
