Insecurity: Allow Nigerians carry licensed guns - Darius Ishaku tells FG

Taraba State governor, Darius Ishaku has asked the Federal Government to permit citizens to arm themselves with licensed guns to defend themselves against criminals.

Ishaku made this statement when 15 local government chairmen paid him a courtesy call on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, following the brutal murder of one of their colleagues.

He expressed his concerns over the insecurities in the country, saying that "the security in this country has gone to the lowest ebb and we have to all wake up. We as leaders have given our advises severally as to the change to the security architecture, you cannot keep doing one thing over and over and expect a different result.”

"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.”
