Former governor of Ogun state, Ibikunle Amosun, says the government of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan approved the procurement of over 1000 AK 47 rifles to boost security in the state.

He speaks on the reaction reports that he handed over the guns and one million bullets to the police a day to the inauguration of a new government in the state.

In a statement which Rotimi Durojaiye, his spokesman, issued on his behalf, Amosun said the biggest challenge that confronted the state when he resumed office in 2011 was insecurity.

He said this prompted him to convene a security parley that gave rise to the Ogun State Security Trust Fund (STF) under the leadership of Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser.

He said following recommendations from the STF, the government got approval from the office of the NSA for the procurement of “13 units of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), the 1000 units of AK 47 rifles, 2 Million rounds of ammunition,1000 units of Bulletproof vests and 500 bulletproof helmets and other security communication gadgets
