 It would be recalled that the bill which has already passed first and second readings at both chambers of the National Assembly, was sponsored by Senator Biodun Olujimi, who represents Ekiti South. 

 While receiving the Hunters Council of Nigeria, in Abuja, Bello asserted that hunters can help the Nigerian Government fight insecurity. He testified that the use of hunters in crime fighting has reduced insecurity in Kogi State, significantly. 

 “I will urge the national assembly to pass this bill into law so that we will be able to empower all of you to take the security head on. “You can see exactly what our hunters are doing in Kogi state. Sometimes, they even rescue some of our security personnel. 

 “So when every inch of the land is been represented by you, you need to secure every inch of the land.
