Light and Heavy Weapons Purchases and importation by Governors and others

Light and Heavy Weapons Purchases and importation by Governors and others! It was on record that some governors in the North were massively purchasing weapons, which according to some of them they were to have distributed those to vigilantes groups! Now the insurgents in the North East have become a colossal night mare for the living and the nation in general and a sorry tale for all that have died and numerous Nigerians that have lost heir hard earned properties to the mindless hoodlums! Security is now costing the tax payers close to 25% of the gross budget! Yet just yesterday Gov. Rauf Aregbesola was shown handing over a number of APCs to the Nigerian Police. A laudable move you may take it but what happens to the weapons the Governor bought that he chose not to hand over to the security operatives!? Same questions for all other governors and others buying all manner of light and heavy weapons! The government must put a stop to this in-descrimate purchase of weapons other than the authorized security agencies in Nigeria or in the alternative no weapon should be bought by anybody without authorization by the army, Police and SSS. Where this is breached the governor or who else should be treated as a clear enemy of the Nigerian State and people! The security situation in the country as of now is too charged up and highly unpredictable that no one should be allowed to mess around with any kind of weapon whether light or heavy weapons! Enough of the laxity!
