Please, before I got it wrong, I wish to know if there is any enabling statute, law, decree, or command that permit our security agents especially men of the SARS, and other formations outside the regulars to carry other weapons such as matchete and axe(similar to those of cultist)? Most of the times, even on arrest of an armedless citizen who pose no threat or refuse arrest, they will first make sure they matchete you before arrest. Is this also right? Dont know if it actually happens in other state, but its the common case or issue here in Akwa Ibom. Or do our govt give them the usual out of record sanction?

U should know this is Nigeria. Anything goes, especially those SARS guys,always looking scraggy and dirty. I bumped in to one wearing a dirty black polo on an old jeans carrying Ak 47 and a polythene bag on the other, I almost jumped out of my skin, till I saw SARS written on his shirt.
