Abuja (Sundiata Post) -House of Representatives on Thursday asked President Mohammadu Buhari to immediately rescind his decision on the revocation and withdrawal of licensed guns from their owners.
Adopting a motion sponsored by Hon. Nnenna Ukeje from Abia State to that effect at plenary on Thursday, the House said it would further expose law abiding Nigerians to danger.
The motion was sequel media reports that the President recently signed an executive order, compelling all gun owners to surrender their licensed guns to the state authorities, with an aim to checkmating the rising cases of banditry, kidnapping and other forms of criminality in the country
But in their reckoning, the members of the House argued that licensed gun weren’t the ones used to perpetrate crimes.
