Members of Staff of the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, who suffered terrorist attack by the dreaded Boko Haram sect on Tuesday, have blamed security forces for the prolonged attack on the school saying; the attackers held them hostage for several hours without security intervention.
The staff, who cried foul to the state governor when he visited the scene, are of the opinion that a day before the attack, security men stationed in towns within the local government were relocated as the hoodlums had a field day during the attack.
According to them, motorists now have to pay a fine of N50 at security checks points and proceed unchecked, a lapse they said the sect members can capitalise on to convey arms and ammunition for their atrocities.
The people also noted that the sect members are often being sighted by communities around various locations within the outskirts but security operatives often stay away from confronting the hoodlums in their hideouts.
This can be linked to the fact that security forces are either short of the required arms and ammunition or manpower as claimed by the governors of the affected states.
Meanwhile, one of the students Samson Ghali attacked by the insurgents is currently receiving treatment at the General Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital, Damaturu.
The decision that the military should change their mode of operation is very necessary while the officers and men on ground need to be adequately motivated if the war on the insurgents must be won within the shortest possible time.
