In its 2019 report, the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation reported that 178,459 arms could not be accounted for by the police.

The House of Representatives has mandated its Ad hoc Committee on Arms to investigate alleged 178,459 arms reported to be missing by the Auditor-General of the Federation, Adolphus Aghughu.

Leading the debate, Mr Okechukwu lamented the poor record-keeping of the police on arms and ammunition.Quoting from the audit report, Mr Okechukwu said “the value of the lost firearms could not be ascertained because no document relating to their cost of acquisition was presented for examination. “Records obtained from force armament at Force Headquarters showed 21 Police Mobile Force Squadron, Abuja, did not report a single case of missing firearm, whereas schedule of missing arms obtained from the same PMF showed a total of 46 missing arms between the year 2000 and February 2019,” he said.
