Allow every Nigerian to bear arms — Gov. Ishaku to FG

.
.
Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, has asked the Federal government to allow Nigerians carry licenced guns to defend themselves amid the myriads of security challenges facing the country.
.
Ishaku stated this on Tuesday, when 15 local government chairmen of the state paid him a condolence visit after the burial of one of them who was kidnapped and subsequently killed by gunmen. He lamented the worsening state of insecurity, adding that the situation has gone to its lowest ebb and demands reawakening.

“If we cannot be able to provide security for our citizens, then allow all the citizens to buy AK-47, because if everybody is licensed with AK-47, I swear nobody will come to your house, or peradventure he does then it depends on who is faster. In a situation where we are all gagged with one security system that has been unable to work, and we are told to sit down and be counting the day our turn will come, I do not agree with it.”
