The Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has urged the Federal Government to allow Amotekun Corps to bear sophisticated weapons in order to protect the people.
Speaking on his recent position on the oil pipeline surveillance contract awarded to private individuals and organizations, Akeredolu explained that the Amotekun corps should be permitted to bear sophisticated arms like the non-state actors who were engaged to protect the oil pipelines.
The governor stated this at the inauguration of the newly reconstructed office complex on the premises of the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission in Oba-Ile, in the Akure North Local Government Area of the state.
Condemning the unjustifiable security situation in the country, Akeredolu vowed to continue to take the bull by the horn in protecting the people of the state.
