Tikoduadua said the RFMF assured him that they will strengthen security measures across its installations and to maintain heightened vigilance.
The RFMF had earlier confirmed in a statement that attempts were made by unknown individuals to gain unauthorized access to certain RFMF establishments last month and early this month and after a thorough inspection and stock-take, the RFMF can categorically confirm that no weapons, ammunition, or related equipment are missing.
