Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has revealed five
solutions that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration needs to end the
insecurity ravaging the nation.
In the context of the heightened insecurity in the country
and the repeated attacks on train routes, Saraki asked the government to
establish an inter-agency task force to arrest bandits on these routes.
He said for the sake of all Nigerians, the government needs
to provide real solutions and decisive action.
His tweets read, “In the last 96-hours, terrorists have
overrun an airport, bombed two trains with thousands of Nigerians, and killed
and injured several innocent citizens. As angry as I am — and we all are —
about these attacks, one thing is clear:
“THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. The recent attack we have seen at the
Gidan train station is yet another example of why people no longer feel safe in
Nigeria.
“As I have reiterated for many years, drastic and decisive
steps need to be taken to review our nation’s basic security infrastructure to
protect lives and property
“One, the federal government must immediately establish an
inter-agency task force that will formulate strategies to smoke out all bandits
on the Kaduna-Abuja rail and vehicle routes.
Saraki also emphasized the need for security agencies to be
equipped with modern tools and technology to tackle terrorists and keep
Nigerians safe.
“Two, the service chiefs must have a meeting and develop an
immediate plan for inter-agency collaboration. The gaps in coordination,
intelligence-sharing, and synergy amongst our security agencies must be
immediately redressed.”
“Three, we must adopt 21st-century solutions to our
present-day problems. We must make better use of technology to track the
activities of these terrorists. We must equip our security operatives with the
modern tools and equipment that they need to keep us all safe.
“Four, we cannot view these attacks in isolation. Our
intelligence network must be proactive. We must be able to analyze and plan
effectively to deal with all perceived threats and all enemies of the Nigerian
people.
“Five, we must show the strength of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria by making sure that our Police, DSS, and Armed Forces immediately find,
apprehend and prosecute all those that planned, participated, or facilitated
these attacks in any way,” Saraki wrote on Twitter.
