Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, wants the Federal Government to allow individuals to buy and own weapons such as AK-47 rifles and RPGs for self-defence.

The governor, who spoke on Friday during a media chat in Abuja, argued that if the bandits wreaking havoc across the country could have access to the market to purchase weapons, individuals should be allowed to own theirs.

According to him: โ€œIf a bandit can go to the market and buy AK-47, RPG, and all of those weapons, what about the people that want to protect themselves? They, too, should be equally allowed to do so.

โ€œThese people are holding it illegally; we are trying to hold it legally. Why canโ€™t the government allow the people to hold this thing and equally confront the challenges?

โ€œNegotiation with bandits is a no-go area from my perspective, but I said if I am at the point of advantageโ€•if the bandits come out and say, โ€˜Look, we are dropping arms, let us sit down and talkโ€™โ€•we could reintegrate them back into society.โ€

He said further: โ€œWe governors are so-called chief security officers of our states, but we donโ€™t have the authority to command the military, police, or civil defence. They receive orders from above.

โ€œIn our efforts, we have come up with the intelligence unit within the Katsina Community Watch Corps. This intelligence unit, even the corps members donโ€™t know them. The reason for setting it up is to check the excesses of the Watch Corps and also to gather information.โ€
