He however said there was the need for the lawmakers to work with the government in finding solutions to the security challenges, stressing that when the government decides to implement the proposed ban, they should consider areas that are not vulnerable to security challenges for exemption.

Wase said: “We should cooperate with the government. We appreciate the motion our brother has brought and we appeal to the government that as they implement this policy, they should look at those areas that are not vulnerable and do not have the potency of having any such Insurgency in their community.

“In line with our principle to help to curb the incessant insecurity in our country, we have to cooperate with the government”.
