The Hunters Group of Nigeria on Tuesday, pleaded with members of the Senate to pass the bill seeking to grant it a legal backing.
The hunters said doing so would officially empower them to assist the Federal Government to tackle insecurity.
The Commandant of the group in Akwa Ibom State, John Essien, stated this when the HGN defended the bill on the group’s establishment before the Senate Committee on Interior.
The group said it could compliment the efforts of the conventional security agencies in apprehending bandits and the insurgents terrorising the country.
Essien therefore urged the lawmakers to pass the legislation.
