Buy guns to defend yourselves against terrorists, Zamfara govt tells residents

Zamfara State Government has asked residents of the state to buy guns to defend themselves against terrorists that have been attacking the people of the state for the past few years.
The state government said this in a statement by the Commissioner for Information,
Ibrahim Dosara.
Dosara said the Zamfara government had also “directed the state commissioner of police to issue (gun) licence” to people who are qualified and willing.
Zamfara is not the first to issue such advice to its residents.
Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina had earlier called on residents of his state to arm themselves against the gunmen in the state.
Zamfara and Katsina are two of the states most affected by the activities of terrorists, locally called bandits, whose actions have led to the deaths of hundreds of people and the kidnap of thousands of others.
