Why would they destroy them?
Those Pump actions are better than those useless world war II AK47 our nigeria police is using

Not true
The AK47 is an assault rifle. It far supercede a shotgun.
DICON makes the AK used by Nigerian security agencies and none is 20 years old.
Only the FN rifles handed to NSCDC and part of Custom use 'old' arms.

The Nigerian senate has ordered for the immediate destruction of firearms illegally imported into the country. This development is coming up shortly after the Nigerian customs has recorded seizures of over 2000 pump action rifles illegally imported into Nigeria from Turkey.

In a statement obtained by PoliticsNGR, the Senate president, Bukola Saraki stated that a bill to increase fines for illegally imported firearms, including firearms without valid licenses has passed a second reading in the Senate.

He stated; "The 8th Senate passed the Second Reading of the Bill to amend the Fire Arms Act to provide for the increase of fines and the destruction of all firearms that are illegally imported into the country or that are in the possession of individuals that do not have valid licenses.

With the recent reports of the Nigerian Customs Service finding 4 illegal shipments of firearms in the last few weeks, this Bill is pertinent, because, with its eventual passage, we will be strengthening the existing Fire Arms Act and making our nation safer.

Apart from the fines and other punitive measures that are imposed against individuals, we will also be looking at the laws that are currently in place to ensure that shipping agents and other companies that are involved in the importation of illegal firearms into the nation are held liable.

Now that the Bill has been sent to the Committee on Judiciary and Legal Matters for further work, we will be having a public hearing on this Bill, to seek the support of experts, security agencies and the general public in coming up with a thorough legislative strategy to combat the proliferation of weapons in our country and our communities."
total waste.issue the military

It could have been handed over to the military not the the police.... Police should not carry shotguns or else.... Expect 1 shot 10 kills.

I don't get it.

Some people smuggled dangerous firearms into a volatile country and all they do is remain anonymous and pay fines?

Heck I've found my new business.
