Makama explained that, since his appointment as DG Special Task Force on Illegal Smuggling of Fire Arms and Other Related Crimes, he has been receiving several threatening calls and messages from criminal conspirators within and outside the State.

The DSS has a lot of role in training and equipping me with the knowledge to be able to carry out this responsibility without bias.

“The nitty-gritty of the training is what I cannot disclose to the public, but be rest assured that, at the end of the training, whoever is involved in either sponsoring, or trading on illegal firearms, the current training I am undergoing will equip me to come after you”.
