"The soldiers while engaging the gunmen at the back of the house were not aware that some of the hoodlums were coming into the house on land. Those gunmen on foot shot dead a soldier and shot another in the leg. "They escaped after sighting reinforcement for the soldiers. "The hoodlums abandoned a boat filled with blood. We asked an eyewitness at the jetty and we were told that the gunmen were moving some bodies of their colleague into another boat."

Insecurity in Nigeria that a former president residence could be attacked .This is getting too serious .This is a big opportunity for the government to increase security infrastructure ,recruits and train jobless Nigerian in the sector .I mean ,Nigeria has the manpower .Huge population is a blessing and shouldn’t be a curse if the government would utilize its Human Resources .China and the huge populated nations are progressing mainly because of their aggressive deployment of human population in vital sectors of the country and its institutions.First thing before development is security , without security there is no development.Therefore, it would be most necessary to tap from the population.Recruits young graduates ,train and deploy them into various strategic  And vulnerable locations .
