The House ofRepresentatives has demanded a reversal of the Executive Order signed byPresident Buhari invalidating firearms licences in the interest of the countrywho will be left exposed and be at the mercy of criminals.
The call followed thepassage of a motion of urgent national importance on the need for the Presidentto rescind the executive order, to revoke and banish all firearms certificatesand licences throughout the country moved by Nnenna Ukeje.
The President had onMay 22 signed into law the Executive Order revoking allfirearm or shotgun certificates or licences in Nigeria.
By the provisions of the Executive Order, which becomes effective from June 1, nobody in the country is allowed or authorised to own or carry weapons or gun.
Contributors to debate on the motion for the revocation of the Executive Order, said the president’s order would strip the people of their rights to life and self-defence.
