Nigeria Police clears air on missing 3,907 firearms discrepancies in 2019 audit
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed reports that 3,907 firearms are missing from its armories, calling the claims misleading and inaccurate.
In a statement on Thursday, the Force Headquarters clarified that the figures cited in recent reports originated from a 2019 audit, conducted before the tenure of the current Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
According to Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi, the alleged missing firearms were actually assigned to officers for operational duties and have since been accounted for.
“The Nigeria Police Force has made notable strides in stabilizing internal security, but malicious actors are seeking to erode public confidence through the spread of misinformation.
“The proliferation of misleading reports against the police compromises public safety and undermines the NPF’s ability to maintain law and order,” Adejobi stated.
