Following the recent attacks, killings and kidnapping in Nigeria, pressure has been mounted on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the nation’s Service Chiefs.
A statement released by Comrade Gbenga Soloki, the National President of the Committee for Defence of Human Rights, in Lagos, on Monday, stated that the rate of killing and kidnapping the country is alarming and may lead to unrest in the nation.
CDHR noted that the statement of security heads with respect to killing across the country shows incapability.
According to CDHR “the growing insecurity across the country calls for serious concern on the part of everyone.”
“From the submission of the service chiefs especially the Chief of Army Staff, it is crystal clear that they have no solution to the issues of banditry and kidnapping across the country.”
“On so many occasions, they have announced to the whole world the defeat of Boko Haram in the north, but people are being killed almost on a daily basis by the dreaded sect.”
“In the southern part of the country, it’s kidnapping by criminal gangs, who collect ransom from relatives of their victims or unwarranted killing.”
“The Inspector General and his team have continuously been investigating, yet no planned action to arrest the ugly situation but they draw salaries and allowances for their incapability.”
The group also questioned the none performing service chiefs following the unwarranted killings and threat to lives in the country.
“We want to advise President Muhamadu Buhari to relieve all Service Chiefs of their positions since they have failed to stem the tide of insecurity across the country and appoint credible and capable ones as replacements.”
