National conference AAUA VC Prof Femi MiMiko suggest citizens should be allowed to bear arms against insecurity

When I was a boy, whenever my dad sits me down to give advice he always added that 'you're lucky you were born into a peaceful country like Nigeria' lol that was then. Almost every week if not day we hear of killings in all corners of the country and this issue is part of the reasons the nation is holding a national conference.

Professor Femi Mimiko, the vice chancellor of the best state university in Nigeria Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, in view to this insecurity has suggested that arms should be legalised for citizens.

A delegate from Ondo state, Femi Mimiko, called for a law that would empower Nigerians to bear arms for self defence.

Mr. Mimiko said the current level of insecurity in the country would be reversed if Nigerians are allowed to bear arms. He said the reason people were being killed indiscriminately by the insurgents was because citizens are defenseless.

"Mr. Chairman, we should create a Constitution that would allow for citizens to bear arms. People are killed and property destroyed because Nigerians are not armed," Mr. Mimiko said.

He said there was so much inequality in the country that there was an urgent need to do something urgently to reverse the trend.

Well done Mr VC.
