The Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Ajayi, has advocated the need to allow communities to bear weapons to a certain level.
The DSS boss submitted that the Nigerian Army, Police, DSS and other security agencies can not be everywhere at the same time.
He stressed that allowing the local communities to bear some degree of firearm would allow them to serve as a first line of defence against insecurity.
