The National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW) has raised an alarm over the proliferation of illegal private security outfits allegedly parading themselves as authorised Small Arms and Light Weapons Control Organisations, especially in the North Central.
The North-Central Coordinator of the centre, Major General Hamza Ibrahim Bature (Rtd) made this known at a press briefing in Minna, the zonal headquarters of the Centre.
He said findings by the centre recently revealed that such organisations had gone as far as deceiving innocent citizens in Kogi State with a promise to give them jobs to assist in mopping up small arms and light weapons.
