Social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has called on the Nigerian government to make provisions for citizens to protect themselves, including making it easier for them to access firearms.
Mr Otse made the call on Tuesday while speaking as a panellist during a session at the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
He posted a video of the session on Facebook.
Speaking on the worsening insecurity in the country, Mr Otse said the number of police and military personnel was insufficient to protect Nigeria’s population of over 200 million people.
“They need to make provisions for citizens to protect themselves. Make it easy for us to get guns because right now they are understaffed. They can’t protect everybody,” Mr Otse said.
