 I'm Major Bashiru Bala, commanding officer of the Nigerian Army, 192 Battalion, in Wode Yewa Ogul State Express Concerns over the proliferation of arms and ammunition along the border with the Ben Air Republic. He spoke at a West African Social Activities event where a truck loaded with 263,300 rounds of Starr cartridges and 2,500 live cartridges were intercepted. Bala emphasised the need for collaboration with other security agencies and emphasised the importance of strengthening social relationships among officers and soldiers. May I assure you that the unit is ever ready and prepared to continue ensuring that maximum security is provided within its area of responsibility. Additionally, I want to use this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to sustain the genocinatistic relationship with other collaborating security agencies, especially the lead agency for anti-smuggling operations, that is the Nigerian Custom Service, in checkmating transborder crimes and smuggling of contraband within our own area of responsibility. For the period under review, the unit recorded a lot of operational services, which include the interception of a truck loaded with 263,300 quantities of rounds and then 2,005 live cartridges. A guest of honour, Major-General, praise the President, Bala Tinibur and Amistad Chief for providing strategic leadership for the armed forces. The unit has evidence that from all the very entertaining displays we have witnessed today, this auspicious event has lead on to its desired expectations. At this juncture, I wish to express with utmost humility, my deepest gratitude to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President Bala Amitibur, Grand Commander of the Honor of the Federal Republic for the strategic guidance to the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
