Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s former aide, Reno
Omokri, has urged southern governors to start arming their state police.
Omokri said the governors should arm their state police the
same way Kano State armed Hisbah.
He noted that whatever law empowered Hisbah should also
allow southern governors to establish their own version.
The former presidential aide made the appeal while frowning
at the review of grazing reserves by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a tweet, the former presidential aide wrote: “With
today’s order by Buhari for grazing reserves in 25 states, southern governors
should start arming their state police in exactly the same way Kano has armed
Hisbah.
“Whatever law allows Kano to have Hisbah should also allow
southern states to have their own version!”
Buhari had approved recommendations of the committee which
reviewed 368 grazing sites in Nigeria.
The reserves cut across 25 states and the review will
determine the levels of encroachment.
The directive followed his approval of the report of the
team chaired by his Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari.
The committee proposed the collection of field data on the
368 reserves to assess encroachers as well as stakeholder engagements and
sensitization.
