THE Federal Government, on Tuesday, raised the alarm on the influx of arms and ammunition from Libya into Nigeria.

The Minister of Defence, Dr Bello Haliru Mohammed, who disclosed this on Tuesday, while on a maiden visit to the Defence, Army, Navy and Airforce headquarters, said that security reports revealed that some of the dissidents of the slain former Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, were moving with heavy equipment and arms into the northern part of the country.



“We are very much aware of the movement of arms and explosives that were stolen from Libya. And I  discussed with the Minister of Defence from Niger recently and he confirmed to me that arms were coming in. Recently, about 10 trucks entered from Libya and they had to fight them. They killed six people and seized all the 10 trucks and all of them were loaded with weapons.”

He said that anxiety was being expressed on the issue of security of the country’s borders, as fears had heightened about arms coming from Niger and  lack of military representation in that country.
