Ondo State governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has asked the federal government to allow Amotekun and other state security outfits to bear arms.
Akerdolu made the plea at the commissioning of the newly reconstructed office complex at the State Oil Producing Area Development Commission in Akure North local government area.
Akeredolu maintained that his position was to allow Amotekun to bear heavy arms like the non-state actors who were engaged to protect the oil pipelines.
The Governor assured that he will continue to do his best in ensuring the protection of lives and property in the state.
