If you die while trying to defend yourself, you\u2019ll be considered a martyr. It\u2019s surprising how a bandit would own a gun while a good man trying to defend himself and his family has none.<\/p>\n<p>He promised to support those with the idea of self defence, saying that citizens needed to complement government efforts.<\/p>\n<p>He reasoned that there was the likelihood of conspiracy among some government officials to profit from insecurity particularly from security votes<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer called on the government to be decisive and brutal in tackling insecurity by arresting and prosecuting anyone found culpable in insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven all that we now know from Dasukigate, it is actually possible for leaders in power to collude with terrorists, bandits, unknown gunmen, pipeline vandals, kidnappers and armed robbers, to fuel insecurity to loot the common purse. That is the way it would seem to us, if this particular government cannot rein in this monster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, the situation seems to be slipping out of the hands of the government, given the scenario of greed, corruption, collusion and religious affiliations that have been unveiled to us by those who should know.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer said, \u201dNigerians didn\u2019t elect bandits and terrorists, saying that responsible people canvassed for votes and were voted, hence, they should rise to the occasion of protecting the voters.<\/p>\n<p>He further advocated for the creation of State Police as the first step towards tackling insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Adegboruwa also charged the National Assembly to work for the interest of the people to improve security by amending the constitution to favour restructuring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), a foremost human rights lawyer and activist has reacted to calls by the Katsina state governor, Aminu Masari on citizens to procure guns and defend themselves.
