LAGOS, NIGERIA - Lagos port.jpgLagos seaport is grappling with rising cases of organized crime, the flow of illicit arms and its status as a route for arm smugglers transporting guns to other parts of the country, Ghana, and Togo, writes Oluwole Ojewale in the London School of Economics blog.
He points out that poor urban planning is one of the enablers of arms trafficking, and proposes that “the city government should conduct a city-wide survey on firearms ownership to provide a comprehensive assessment of firearms ownership, types, usage, patterns and sources in Lagos.”
