President Buhari says  illegal arms  had been flowing into Nigeria despite the border closure for over a year which was designed to stop the illegal act
The border closure was reversed, by a Presidential order, in December 2020, after several calls by interested parties for the action.
He spoke at Aso Rock, Abuja, while receiving in farewell audience the outgoing Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS), Mohammed Ibn Chambas.
He stated that  the first step towards keeping the Sahel region of Africa peaceful and secure would be by ensuring that the State of Libya regains its stability,
He said the degenerating case of arms and ammunition proliferation in the West African and the Sahel region of the continent resulted from the collapse  of the former Libyan leader, Colonel Muammar Gadaffi, and the infiltration of different countries within the region by his fleeing renegades.
