Matawalle made this known in a statement issued by his the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Jamilu Magaji, on Tuesday
It added that the State Government was aware of the misgivings expressed in some quarters regarding the new measure. “Their efforts are, however, hampered by the lack of adequate modern warfare equipment and the dearth of personnel. The statement added that the state government had explored all options to address the issue to no avail.
God bless you sir. It’s a right decision in the right way. Let citizens too be armed for self defense. The Authorities are overwhelmed and helpless. Let people to some extent help themselves. The license should go round the country. I can assure you, the insecurity will come down
Buhari asked police to stop licensing guns to the ppl, and after that he gives 100 billion naira to filanis.. if the police sees u with Cutlass u re arrested n detained for questioning but a fulani man with knife and arrows can't be stopped anywhere in the country.
From now onward this man doesn't deserve to be paid salary with tax payers money anymore. He should go and rest
So sad, one problem with all these politician is they lack foresight, nigeria is a lawless country imagine people in a possession of gun, what will happen, the devils advocate.
This is not a good idea... If someone is caught here in Nigeria. probably for stealing or killing , jungle justice will be serve immediately without the use of guns before forces arrives, so what if every citizens now acquire guns nkor in cases like these. Hmmm!
Buhari has failed, APC has failed and you as governor has failed.
Bellomatawalle1 has been enervated to have inisght on actus rea this Untutored decision can make, freedom to safety is bewildered because he can't perceive liability of his action
I support you Governor Matawalle. Ur suggestion is just the solution. Nobody has any muzzle than others. Bandits or Fulani herdsmen seems powerful bcause they hv access to amunition. Let some selected people be trained in communities on arms handling & the criminality will stop.
That decision is a self suicide attempt, hence the consequences will be greater than what is happening in Libya.
Appropriate decision.
Fake reason nko?
