REVEALED: “How al-Qaeda, Boko Haram smuggle arms into Nigeria”
Proliferation of small arms and light weapons is increasingly and dangerously becoming a transnational organized crime in Nigeria with Boko Haram’s insurgency, re-emerging Niger Delta crisis and escalating kidnapping, communal crises and armed robbery in the South East providing impetus for arms trafficking.
Some border towns, particularly in the North Eastern flank, serve as a hub for trafficking of arms as well as stolen goods, drugs and hostages by criminals, terrorists and their collaborators.

Similarly, many arms and ammunition of various types, sizes and calibre have been intercepted and confiscated by security agencies.
