Police raise alarm over arms build-up

Jos — The police in Plateau State said it is disturbed by the continuous arms build-up in the state despite spirited efforts to get citizens to surrender arms in their possession to the command.
Parading 19 suspects, some allegedly involved in the manufacturing of arms last weekend, the state Police Commissioner, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, said it was worrisome that rather than heed the call to surrender arms in their possession, people seem to be acquiring more.
“Why the arms build-up in Jos? Why? I had directed that people with illegal arms should surrender them to the police, but no one has come forward. They have the arms and are still keeping them. That is why we are worried.
“Why the arms build-up, are we at war, or preparing for war? I m very frank; we are disturbed, but now that people have refused to surrender their arms to us willingly, we are using our intelligence network to discover illegal armoury in the state.
“The other time we discovered black spots in the state where explosive devices are produced and we keep discovering arms manufacturers. This calls for concern”, he said.
