A Nigerian not-for-profit organization [names with held]has disclosed in a world exclusive to the News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria of its plans to help in Arms control as far as the usage of weapons collected from insurgents operating in the North Eastern part of Nigeria is concerned.

In a reply to inquiries on the subject ,a media source  who is the communication  strategy officer of the agency told this reporter  that the North East area apart from its attendant problems  was now a haven for arms which were collected by members of the Nigerian Armed Forces from insurgents but which nobody is talking of how  they  will be disposed .

Further questioning from this reporter on the subject from the media source met with a brick wall as he insisted that The News Office Desk of Paedia Express should wait for when they eventually make the plans public

A global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) became international law on 24 December 2014.
The ATT means that every state that has signed-up must now obey strict rules on international arms transfers. This will at last help to stem the flow of weapons that fuel bloody conflicts, atrocities and state repression around the world.
It’s rare to get a direct win that will help save thousands of lives, but after relentless lobbying and campaigning since the early-1990s, Amnesty and its partners have done exactly that.
The Treaty’s rules are simple – if a country knows that the arms about to be sold will be used for genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes, then they must stop the transfer.
The work doesn’t not stop here. The ATT gives us crucial ground rules for the global arms trade. Now we must make sure that it is strictly put into action and more states get on board.
