Governor Samuel Lalong of Plateau State said he is making a move to secure license for his people to bear AK (47) and AK (49) to defend themselves against the incessant armed bandits activities in his state.
Lalong who stated this in Jos said, since the federal government has failed to secure the people of Plateau state, he has no option than to move to that step.
He noted that his administration has already trained about (500) members of community guards who are to be provided with the license and soonest another batch will be selected.
He said taking the measures has become imperative for him to get his people secured against the brutality of armed bandits.
