NATIONAL TASK FORCE (NATFORCE) says More Influencial Personalities to Be Persecuted

                            

National Task Force (NATFORCE) has raised alarm over increasing proliferation of small arms in the country, saying some of small arms were smuggled into the country, thereby frustrating Federal Government effort to address insurgency that has plagued the country thus far.

The Director General of NATFORCE), Chief Emmanuel Okereke said Wednesday in Abuja during National Executive Council meeting of the organisation that, "NATFORCE in league with other government agencies to stem the tide of illegal importation of goods, small and light weapons including ammunition into the country to the corporate existence of Nigeria, is more than ever determined to checkmate unscrupulous individuals, who exploit the system and large-stretch the border to bring in hundreds of small arms and ammunition."

Speaking on the Dasuki arms scandal, he added that Nigerians should expect persecution of more influential personalities.

He said determination of the President, Muhammadu Buhari to truly reposition the country should be widely supported.

He stated that Buhari was not fighting selective anti-Corruption war as believed in some quarters.

Okereke further established link between small arms, illegal importation of goods and corruption, saying, "I can tell you trillions of money have been returned, and that is because of this anti-corruption campaign.

I believe in plea bargain but whoever is found guilty of these corruption scandal should be duly prosecuted."

It would be remember that the activities NATFORCE has be slowed down by various organizations such as Customs service, Police and the DSS despite the court ruling that NATFORCE be allowed to carry out its madate unmolested.

When pray the Buhari led APC government recognizes the efforts of NATFORCE in ensuring small arms are mopped up and checkmated.
