The military has expressed determination in exploring ways to harness skills of law-abiding citizens engaged in local production of firearms and military grade equipment even as it is committed to put an end to production and circulation of illegal arms in the country.
Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, expressed this concern during an operational visit to the frontline troops under Operation Safe Haven in Plateau State while reviewing a cache of locally made arms and ammunition seized within the areas of operation.
In what is the continuation of the CDS operational visits to defence headquarters, the first point of call was at the headquarters of 3 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maxwell Khobe Cantonment where he was received by the General Officer Commanding as well as the inspection of the quarter guard.
The CDS entourage thereafter proceeded to Sector 8 of Operation Safe Haven in Mangu for inspection of military hardware and operational equipment in the forward operation base.
