The Governor made this call in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Malam Muhammad Bello on Saturday.
“I am, therefore, appealing to the National Assembly and the Presidency to come up with a legislation that will prescribe disarmament in the country.“Those in possession of unlicensed arms should go and register them and if the arms cannot be licensed, they should be surrendered to the government and the government will pay them,” he said.
Sec 3, Chapter R11, Robbery and Firearms (Special Prohibition Act) provides that the punishment for Illegal Possession of Arms is either 14 years years imprisonment or a fine of N20k or both. I agree with Tambuwal. There should be stiffer punishments for such a heinous crime.
