During a public destruction event of 2,819 illicit arms in Abuja, Ribadu highlighted that the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons has destroyed a total of 19,000 weapons since its inception. He emphasized that each weapon destroyed represents a threat neutralized, contributing to the fight against terrorism, banditry, and other criminal activities. Ribadu also outlined a new intelligence-led security strategy approved by President Bola Tinubu, which focuses on inter-agency collaboration and international partnerships. He commended various security agencies for their efforts and called on citizens to assist by providing timely information to help address emerging threats.
