The Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom has given one-month deadline to the federal government to approve his letter to procure AK-47 riffle licence.
At the passing out parade of the second batch of the State Volunteer Community Guards, Ortom said that he had applied for the approval of the license but regretted that for over three months he was yet to get a response from federal government.
He said the procurement of the rifles would strengthen the state’s logistic support base and defence capability.
