CP Morris reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to working closely with the NCCSALW in tackling the circulation of illicit weapons and other violent crimes. He stressed that the partnership would strengthen ongoing efforts to recover unauthorized firearms from individuals and criminal networks operating within the state.
According to the Commissioner, the collaboration is part of a broader strategy to ensure public safety, peace, and stability, noting that curbing the spread of illegal weapons remains vital to maintaining law and order.
In his remarks, Major General Abubakar Adamu (Rtd) commended the Command for its sustained efforts in crime prevention and control. He urged continued cooperation to achieve the Centre’s goal of mopping up illegal arms through collection, destruction, and awareness campaigns across communities.
The visit, he said, underscores the importance of synergy among security agencies in addressing the threats posed by illicit arms, which often fuel communal clashes, banditry, and other violent crimes.
