This was contained in a statement signed by Governor Ortom’s Chief Press Secretary, Nathaniel Ikyur and made available to newsmen on Friday.
Ortom who spoke in Ibadan, Oyo State, at the 2022 Oyo State Governance retreat with the theme: “Finishing Strong: A Legacy of Prosperity,” lamented that while the Community Volunteer Guards and Amotekun in the South West were legally formed by law, but were denied the right to bear AK 47, those in Katsina State have been allowed to carry such weapons.
He noted that the business of securing the lives and property of the people must be taken seriously by government saying it was the reason why his government inaugurated the Open Grazing Prohibition Law, reactivated the State Community Volunteer Guards Law and domesticated the Peace Commission into law.
