My phone detected 277 guns around Senate chamber — Senator Jimoh Ibrahim
Senator Jimoh Ibrahim has advocated the need for technology in the fight against insecurity, claiming that some installations on his phone detected over 277 guns around the Senate chamber
Senator Jimoh spoke on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday while contributing to a motion raised by Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South over the recent bombings in the North-East state.
“I don’t want to take much of your time but I will say clearly it costs nothing for the intelligent army to get devices in their phone to know where these notorious criminals live,” the lawmaker representing Ondo South said.
“As I am here, I check my phone regularly and I know the number of guns that are very close to me here. This is just less than one thousand installations. Within us now, there are over 277 guns around here just because an armoury is close to this place.”
When Senate President Godswill Akpabio asked him, “Of the 277 guns around you here, do you know how many of them have bullets inside?” the lawmaker said since there is an amoury close to the National Assembly, the senators were safe.
