The Director General of the National Commission for the coordination and control of the proliferation of small arms, ammunition and light Weapons (NATCOM), Dr Baba Mohammed, has reacted to reports of the commission being factionalized.
In a statement, Mohammed dissmised the report, describing it as “false, fake, fraudulent, malicious and misleading.”
The statement reads: “The attention of the Director General of the National Commission for the coordination and control of the proliferation of small arms, ammunition and light Weapons , NATCOM, Dr Baba Mohammed has been drawn to a poorly written memo dated 5th June 2023 and signed by one Otunba Adejare Adegbenro who parades himself as the Director General of NATCOM, captioned; Termination/Dissolution of appointments.
“The memo and caption can best be described as false, fake, fraudulent, malicious and misleading.
“It is a figment of the imagination of some mischievous elements who are desperate to cause misinformation and confusion.
“The National Commission for the coordination and control of the proliferation of small arms and light Weapons (NATCOM), remains focused, never factionalized and on course towards the take off of the commission.
“All appointments made under the leadership of Dr. Baba Mohammed remain intact.”
