Nigeria Is A Security Disaster Under Buhari By Jude Ndukwe by AnonPoet: 11:04am On Aug 13, 2018 |
The Tuesday, August 7, 2018, DSS siege on the nation’s foremost democratic institution has attracted widespread condemnation not only from good spirited Nigerians, but it has also drawn the ire of the international community which was alarmed by the reckless and illegal invasion. Unfortunately, this executive recklessness has assumed a very dangerous dimension that nobody knows what our security agencies hold in stock for the citizens tomorrow. Almost on a daily basis, the nation is awoken by one rude shock or the other of citizens’ brutalization, torture and even murder by our security agencies paid to Nigerians. Policy & Civil Society Analysts have also agreed that such irresponsible actions which have been left unchecked by relevant authorities, indicates the Presidency is losing control of security forces directly under the control of the Commander in Chief. This loss of control is further indicated by the rapidly escalating insecurity situation in the country with violent crimes as kidnapping, Pastoral conflicts, and renewed attacks on our military by the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists. Analysts have also said that the undue rivalry, unnecessary bickering, lack of cooperation and absence of the needed synergy among the respective security agencies have not helped the situation. Even the National Security Adviser, NSA, Babagana Monguno, lamented this ugly trend at an interactive session with the 8th Senate. Babagana Munguno, in the Senate ad-hoc committee report, regretted that his functions as NSA have been hijacked by the security agencies leading to the uncontrolled acrimony among them and that the situation was made worse by rising indiscipline among the agencies. In its findings, the Senate ad hoc committee set up under the leadership of Dr. Olubukola Saraki, observed that its investigations show that the security agencies have been divided into camps with the EFCC and the NSA belonging to one group and the NIA and DSS belonging to another. Despite the damaging reports and the recommendations made, it is quite unfortunate that President Muhammadu Buhari has neither deemed it fit nor been able to arrest the ugly situation. The irreparably broken cohesion, rivalry, and indiscipline among these agencies have exposed them to the easy manipulation and politicization by politicians aligned with the ruling party agenda, as they have been illegally deployed to ride roughshod on our constitution and rule of law. For example, just few days after Governor Samuel Ortom left the All Progressive Congress APC, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, froze the accounts of the state government without any judicial process and even against the instructions of the courts that only the Auditor-General and House of Assembly of a state has the legal right in law to look into the finances of a state government. The action of the EFCC which surely has no basis in law, was obviously executed out of vindictiveness for the defection of Ortom to the opposition PDP, and was also extended to the Akwa Ibom State government in an attack on the government and good people of the state reportedly at the behest of the APC who only recently received a former chieftain of the PDP, Godswill Akpabio, former governor of the state, into its fold. To further confirm that its action was merely in response to political manipulations of the ruling party, the EFCC quickly unfroze the accounts of the two states after a torrent of criticisms from Nigerians. Given this scenario, and the vows made by several APC lawmakers and chieftains including their chairman and those in the presidency to remove Saraki by all means, it was not surprising that the DSS succumbed to the totalitarian and fascist dictates of the ruling party to execute the hatchet job carried out against the national assembly on that Tuesday, an action which many have rightly described as a “Legislative coup”. The Nigerian Police Force is certainly not immune to such manipulations as they have, at one time or the other, also fallen prey to the ravenous appetite for abuse of our laws, and democratic institutions. The police were used to attempt to carry out an illegal invasion of the Benue State House of Assembly where they gave security cover to eight of the members and locked out both staff and the other majority 22 members with the hope that the minority members along with a Speaker who was barred by a court of competent jurisdiction, having been legally removed by the needed majority number, would be used to impeach the defected Governor. Political opponents, pro-democracy activists, groups and ordinary citizens have tasted the bitter pills of the police albeit illegally. The unbearable excesses of the police’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, has remained a sour point, torturing citizens and brutalizing them at will, a situation which has led to the unabated calls from Nigerians for it to be scrapped. The atrocities of the police especially under President Buhari are legion, yet, the president seems helpless, weak or worse, unconcerned. These lapses have given some foreigners, as declared by the Presidency, the leverage to take advantage of the gap in our security architecture to freely rein terror on citizens, kidnapping, raping, and butchering them with reckless abandon under the guise of farmers/herders clashes. Added to this grievous dereliction of duty by the Buhari administration, is that no one is being prosecuted today for those heinous crimes against our people. Evidently, there is a gross failure in the Nigerian security system under the leadership of President Muhammdu Buhari. The big question now is, what are going to do about it? http://rapidnewsnigeria.com/opinion/nigerias-security-disaster-under-buhari-by-jude-ndukwe/ 15 Likes 1 Share

Only people driven by base primordial sentiments defend the monumental error which this Buhari government typifies. Which kind of government/administration scores a serial F9 in all key performance indicators/indices and yet has a horde of misguided elements proffering weak and ineffectual defense against its uselessness? Something has to be fundamentally wrong with the system here... 47 Likes 3 Shares |

Much better when we had terrorists publicly display their capabilities. Nigeria Security framework is a 21st century joke but it won’t improve when to you use the past as a parameter for measuring its efficiency. It is better than the past but much less effective than it ought to be using the advanced world or at least other developing countries. 1 Like |

The average IPoB juwus rejected by Israel is a demented liar without any shred of integrity. Look how he twisted Muguno's statement which actually pointed out that due to a decree that removed the NSA from supervising intelligence agencies created a situation where there is little coordination between agencies. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Security disaster because of the paid agents of political oppositions against PMB to go about killing innocent citizens to dent the image of PMB reducing his chances of contesting in 2019. Remember, Camp Zero was captured in Sambisa forest there drastically reducing the activities of BH terrorist and led to the release of over 1000 captured victims, remember how the bandits that perpetrated the killings in Kaduna was captured, how militant activities in Niger Delta was reduced. Do not judge PMB by the rampage that shook this country; because they are paid by political figures who are against this government |
