In another report, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has asked the federal government to grant southwest governors the powers to equip their respective Amotekun operatives with sophisticated firearms like AK-47.
On Tuesday, June 8, the governor made the suggestion in response to the recent Igangan mayhem where dozens of indigenes were killed by suspected armed herdsmen.
According to Governor Makinde, the operations of Amotekun in tackling criminality continues to be limited because the operatives do not have sophisticated weapons to match that of criminal elements.
Growing security crises might escalate
Also, Southwest Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) advised the FG to seek assistance from the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) in tackling insecurity in the country.
Also, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said the growing security crises across Nigeria can be likened to war.
Gbajabiamila also warned that if the situation continues unabated, the country might just be living on borrowed time.
He, however, stated that recent recommendations by the parliament would be transmitted to President Muhammadu Buhari for further action.
