Activist-lawyer, Morakinyo Ogele , yesterday berated the Federal Government for insecurity in the country, saying the recent bomb blast in Yobe State is a clear indication that the police cannot secure the lives and properties of Nigerians again.
Ogele, in a statement, expressed sympathy for the families of the victims. He called on retired police officers in the country to rise to security challenge and save the nation from more woes.
The statement reads: "It is the right time to call the retired Inspector-Generals (IG s) of police to come and save Nigerians. Their experience will help Nigerians. The present police authority are no more interested in providing security for Nigerians but when it comes to the invasion of media houses, they can perform well.
"Of recent, President Goodluck Jonathan told the world that he has a clue to the operation of these militants. The PDP-led government is only interested in sharing monies and positions. They have left Nigerians afar. There is no doubt that if positive steps are not taken, we may not be able to sleep with our two eyes closed. From Aljazeera’s information, 157 Nigerians have been killed within two days.
"It is time for Nigerians to be security conscious and find alternative ways in providing security for themselves. Nigerians must put pressure on the Federal Government to find maximum security for them.
"We need not inform the IG to resign immediately but if need be, he should resign within three days.All the Divisional Police Officers( DPOs) should put security above their activities, rather than involve in monetary gains.
