Jimoh Ibrahim, senator representing Ondo south, says a software on his mobile phone that detects the number of guns around him detected over 277 guns around the Senate chamber.
Ibrahim spoke on the floor of the senate on Wednesday, July 3, while contributing to a motion sponsored by Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south.
Ndume had dwelt on the recent suicide bombings in Gwoza, an LGA in his senatorial district.
Reacting, Jimoh Ibrahim advocated the need for technology in the fight against insecurity.
“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,” Ibrahim 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.”
Senate President Godswill Akpabio then asked him, “Of the 277 guns around you here, do you know how many of them have bullets inside?”
Ibrahim responded that since there is an amoury close to the National Assembly, the senators were safe.
