The Ondo State government says the call for self-defence by the Zamfara State government has again emphasised the importance of establishing state police to adequately tackle the insecurity bedevilling various parts of the country.
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu says the call by the Zamfara State government for citizens to arm themselves has shown the loss of confidence in the current security arrangement in the country.
He accused the Federal Government of denying exigent regional security outfits the right to bear firearms, saying the security agencies in the country were overwhelmed and distracted.
