A public affairs analyst and security expert, Mahmud Othman, today said the police are being economical with the truth on the bombings and attacks on military formations and innocent citizens that has been taking place in the country.

“They are daredevils but the irony of it all is that we don’t know what exactly is going on….Nobody is telling the truth”

He also shrugged off the element of surprise as to the attack on the Nigerian Army’s training base in Jaji.

“Well am not surprised, you know in one of these programmes i told you, I have developed very thick skin, nothing surprises me in our country at all”.

“Why should storming Jaji be different from storming police headquarters of the whole country? First Infantry Mechanised Division in Kaduna, Air Force base in Kaduna, they stormed all those places”.

Mr Othman, who was speaking as a guest on one of Channels Television’s flagship programme, Sunrise Daily, also expressed disappointment at the lack of readiness of the security operatives to tackle the security challenges facing the country.

Othman said “It is part of the regression we have been experiencing over the years and the agencies really have no idea of what is happening. It doesn’t matter what they say, if they cannot find a solution we haven’t seen it, there is more escalation, there is more tension, those dare devils are more daring. ”.
