Led by Director Johnson Kokumo, the operation ensured these arms were rendered permanently unusable, aiming to prevent them from re-entering circulation and sparking more chaos. With Nigeria grappling with banditry, kidnappings, and communal clashes, this action underscores the government’s serious push to tackle the root causes of insecurity. Since launching in 2021, the agency has seized over 21,000 illegal weapons and destroyed more than 19,000 — a clear message that safety and accountability are top priorities.
