Ned Nwoko, the senator representing Delta North senatorial district has reiterated his position on why he believes Nigerians would be able to carry arms to defend themselves.

The lawmaker said in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today that it would not be a bad idea for Nigerians to carry guns in self-defense considering the security challenges plaguing the country.

When asked if carrying guns would solve the nation’s security problems, the lawmaker said: “Yes, it will.”

He also narrated how he lost his Senior Legislative Aide when gunmen attacked his home in Abuja.

“My SLA was killed in November last year and the wife said the estate was attacked by kidnappers. When they got to their door, they wanted to knock down the door, the wife and kids went to hide under the bed in one of the rooms.

“When he want to open the door, he was taken and nobody saw him again. As a matter of fact, those people who took him away have been arrested. If he had a gun or members of that estate had guns, you think the kidnappers would have the audacity to knock from house to house knowing that people are armed? That wouldn’t happen,” Nwoko said.
