A Security Consultant, Olatunbosun Abolarinwa, has questioned the government’s sincerity in tackling insurgencies in some parts of Nigeria.
Mr Abolarinwa referred to the recent abduction of about 200 secondary school girls in Borno State as an issue that should be tackled quickly. calling it a “Gorilla war”.
He stated that it was a collective duty of Nigerians and government to rise up and tackle insecurity in the nation.
On Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr Abolarinwa called on the government to educate Nigerians on security measures and steps that could be taken to prevent attacks. “No amount of technology coming from the best part of the world to solve terrorism will work, until Nigerians stand up to do what they need to do”.
He advocated for a security orientation programme, for the average Nigerian to educate them on steps to be taken when solving security challenges. “The government do not adhere to these calls. We don’t have people who can listen in government,” he lamented.
The security expert stressed that security issues affecting the country could be put to a halt within six months and without spending billions of Naira, insisting that an awareness and re-orientation programme should be created. “It is possible to spend a huge amount of money on the wrong thing and end up having the wrong result” he added.
