Nigerian army seizes weapons from armed robbers, herdsmen

The Nigerian army says it has recovered weapons and ammunition from robbers, cattle rustlers and other criminal elements in the north-western part of the country.

The weapons were displayed at a press conference in northern Kaduna city.

The army and police have been waging a joint operation to tackle cattle rustling and other criminal activity in the region.

It seems the army was called in because the police were battling to cope on their own.
