Dr Aliyu Sokomba, Chairman, The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) Kaduna, has urged the Federal Government to licence the use of firearms for profiled citizens, saying such would enable the people to protect themselves from being attacked by bandits since security forces cannot be everywhere.
The medical practitioner gave the advise at a stakeholders meeting with the state governor, Nigerian Union of Teachers and other professional in Kaduna on Monday 26 July, 2021.
According to him licensing of firearms for citizens has become expedient due to the constant kidnapping of many people, including health workers.
Kaduna state is a hotbed for kidnapping and Banditry in recent time.
