\u201cthis month, Lakes State governor has been touring the counties giving the messages of voluntarily disarmament where it is supposed to be peaceful and the responsibility has been given to local chiefs, executive, the Paramount Chiefs, commissioners including payam administrators. We don\u2019t expect anybody to continue carrying firearms in Lakes State and especially the youth who are authorized not to carry firearms,\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that there is a massive collection of illegal firearms going on and any report of resistance from January onward would be disarmed forcefully and that is what is going to happen.<\/p>\n
