Katsina, which is President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, has had a fair share of bandits’ attacks, killings and kidnappings for ransom in the last two years.

“It’s Islamically allowed for one to defend himself against attack. One must rise to defend himself, his family and assets. If you die while trying to defend yourself, you’ll be considered a martyr,” Masari asserted.

The Katsina governor said he was ready to support Katsina people who could make lethal weapons available for use against the marauding bandits.

He stated these at a media parley held in Katsina on Tuesday, People’s Gazette reports.

“We’ll support those who come with the initiative to procure arms because residents need to also complement the efforts of security agencies,” Masari added.

“It’s surprising how a bandit would own a gun while a good man trying to defend himself and his family doesn’t have one.”

He insisted that the country did not have enough policemen and soldiers to protect lives.

“Count it yourself, how many policemen do we have in this country? How many soldiers do we have? Even if we say every policeman should go back to his home state, it’ll still not be enough,” he explained.

“So, if we fold arms and decide to do nothing, we’ll be the ones to suffer most.”

Muntiaru Cardoso! Well done!

Lalasticlala, martyr for defending yourself, doing government's work?

Will he say this if southerner is in power?

He should go and stay in one of those communities where bandits attacks are rampant.
The good thing is that his security details will still go with him, he should just be handed a rifle while he stays in the community for one week.

And what stops the governor from leading by example or is he scared of becoming a martyr?

That was how the brainless idiot in Aso rock vowed to lead the battle against insurgency from the front.

That's cool but I don't want to leave this earth the martyrdom way

If not that Nigeria is a misnomer, where is it written that it is wrong to bear arms as a citizen?

.

Nigeria is a bastardized country where citizens are treated as slaves while Fulanis are kings. It is your fundamental right, a law of nature, to defend yourself in the face of imminent death. You do not need a government to do that unless you die before they cime.

In essence... the Government is finally clueless.

Masari will still deny saying so!

May I not hear these kinds of things in 2022.

flamingREED:
May I not hear these kinds of things in 2022.

Amen!

That's good way to die but the governor should show good example as the leader by delegating one of his children to die first as martyr!
Pls your excellency
