The Bauchi State chapter of
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has called on the
Federal Government to allow all Nigerians to have access to arms.
Sadiq Ibrahim Ahmed, Chairman of
MACBAN in Bauchi State, said Nigerians should carry firearms to protect
themselves amid the spate of insecurity.
Ahmed made the call in response
to a comment by the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed defending herdsmen
carrying AK-47.
Mohammed had said herdsmen carry
AK-47 and other forms of arms to protect themselves in the forests.
Reacting, Ahmed said Nigerians
should be allowed to defend themselves because the government had failed in
providing security.
”The government has become
irresponsible. That is why a Fulani man has become an outcast in his own
country.
“All his wealth has been crippled
to activities of cattle rustlers. What do you expect him to do?
“Let everybody protect
themselves, let everybody carry arms. You don’t allow a few bandits to come and
ruin you, kill you, kill your family as few people cannot be terrorizing
everybody,” Ahmed told The Nation.
