Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has urged the National Assembly (NASS) to produce legislation that would prescribe death sentence or life imprisonment for unlawful possession of arms in the country.
Mr Tambuwal made this call in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Malam Muhammad Bello.
“Those in possession of unlicenced arms should go and register them and if the arms cannot be licensed, they should be surrendered to government and the government will pay them,” he said. He urged stakeholders to improve remuneration and life insurance policy for security operatives in the country. He explained that the group would operate within the ambit of the law and in conjunction with the security agencies, so that “they will not take laws into their hands”.
