The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has, in the midst of rising insecurity, dismissed the calls for Nigerians to bear arms as a means of protecting themselves in the country.
The IGP, who harped on the need for peaceful coexistence and more dialogue, warned that such an approach would only escalate violence and deepen instability across the country.
He stated this Wednesday at the second Nigeria democracy week organised by the National Democracy Stakeholders Group (NDSG) on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, in Abuja.
