In another report, the inspector general of police, Mohammed Adamu, has said none of the security agencies in the country has the calibre of weapons in the possession of criminals.
The police chief made this known at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday, February 19, when he received senior officers of the police, Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies.
Adamu said there is a correlation between the increase in crisis in southern Nigeria and the number of weapons in the hands of militants.
The IGP hinted that the weapons are being smuggled to the country through the sea, adding that the criminals stealing crude and other products parade such sophisticated weapons.
Meanwhile, the governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum, has revealed some key steps the federal government must take in order to win the insurgency war in the northeast.
