FG should look into sophisticated arms for vigilantes, says APGA presidential candidate | TheCable Roadto2023 NigeriaDecides
Kunle DaramolaPeter Umeadi, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance , says there needs to be a conversation on sophisticated arms for vigilantes.
Speaking on Sunday at the town hall series on security and economy organised by ARISE TV, Umeadi, a former Anambra chief judge, said if elected president, he would ensure the creation of state police. “I support the creation of state police. Vigilantes should be allowed to operate. The critical question is how they can work with arms,” he said.
“Herdsmen have AK-47, and people who defend a village do not? To solve insecurity, could we give military to people going to NYSC eight months out of 12 months?“This will create a safe environment. If we look at it and it’s something to go with, I will go about it.”
