Insecurity: Allow Us To Defend Ourselves, Shehu Sani Tells FG

Former Senator who represented Kaduna Central in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has called on the Federal Government to allow Nigerians carry weapons to be able to defend themselves when attacked by bandits and terrorists.

Sani who reiterated several calls made by Nigerians for the government to allow citizens to carry guns to protect themselves, said if the government and security agents can’t defeat terrorists and bandits especially in Kaduna and other parts of the North, then it was only sensible that people should be allowed to arm themselves.

Sani opined that if people are allowed to officially carry same weapons as the terrorists, the criminals would think twice before staging attacks.

In a tweet on Friday, Sani said letting people carry weapons to protect themselves would ensure security within the country.

“If the Government and security agencies can’t crush these terrorists and bandits kidnapping and killing our people in Northern and Southern Kaduna, people should be officially allowed to carry same weapons and let’s see who owns the land,” Sani wrote.
