Ribadu said this during the destruction of arms by the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms And Light Weapons in Abuja on Thursday.
He described security agents involved in such acts as “worse human beings.”
“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”, Ribadu added.
“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.
The NSA also cursed 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.
