The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor has kicked against the recent call by Zamfara State Governor, Bello Muhammad for citizens to acquire arms to protect themselves.
General Irabor described it as inappropriate, noting that only the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces can authorise the use of firearms.
He said this at the commencement of Exercises Grand Nationale by participants of the National Defence College and the Tri-Service War Colleges of the Army, Air force and Navy.
