Akeredolu faults fgs refusal to allow amotekun bear arms

It seems like you're referring to a news article or a statement made by Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the Governor of Ondo State in Nigeria.

To provide a summary, Governor Akeredolu has faulted the refusal of the Federal Government to allow the Western Nigeria Security Network (Amotekun) to bear arms. Amotekun is a regional security outfit established by the six states in the South-West region of Nigeria to combat kidnapping, banditry, and other security challenges.

According to reports, Governor Akeredolu expressed his disappointment and frustration over the Federal Government's decision, stating that it has hindered the effectiveness of Amotekun in tackling security issues in the region. He emphasized that the outfit needs to be equipped with the necessary tools, including arms, to effectively carry out its mandate.

The Governor also expressed his concern that the refusal of the Federal Government to allow Amotekun to bear arms has led to a situation where the outfit is unable to effectively respond to security threats in the region. He urged the Federal Government to reconsider its decision and allow Amotekun to be equipped with the necessary arms and ammunition to enable it to effectively carry out its duties.

It's worth noting that the controversy surrounding Amotekun's ability to bear arms has been a subject of debate in Nigeria, with some arguing that it is unconstitutional for a regional security outfit to be armed, while others believe that it is necessary for the outfit to be equipped with the necessary tools to effectively carry out its mandate.
