The Senate Public Accounts Committee has expressed concern over the disappearance of more than 3,900 firearms, including AK-47 rifles, from the Nigeria Police Force.

During a review of the Auditor-General’s report, lawmakers also flagged financial irregularities totaling ₦1.136 billion. Senator Victor Umeh criticized the police for failing to recover the weapons amid rising insecurity.

While the police assured lawmakers they are addressing the issue, senators insisted on public accountability. The Inspector General of Police has been summoned to provide further explanations next Monday.
