Samuel Ortom, Governor of Benue, has urged the Federal Government to provide security agencies with modern weapons and gadgets to rid Nigeria of criminality.
Ortom made the call in Naka, Gwer West Local Government Area during the defection ceremony of the All Progressives Congress (APC) members to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday.
He said he is pained that the security agencies lack sophisticated weapons yet they work tireless to secure the lives and property of the citizenry.
Meanwhile, Ortom welcomed the defectors to PDP wholeheartedly, informing them that they are free to vie for any position during the 2023 general election.
