“The major problem we have with institutions like the police is lack of preparedness. I want to ask, where wa the intelligence gathering that the Police, the DSS, the NSDC didn’t know? “Where will about 60 people with Hilux pass? What we need to do is address the security architecture of Nigeria.“The ninth Senate made recommendations to review the security architecture of this country but it wasn’t implemented. It has become a vicious cycle, we make recommendations but the problem keeps coming.”
He said, “Mr. President, Distinguished colleagues I rise to inform you that on the 20th of October, 2023 at about 4:15, it was amegedon let loose as men of the underworld invaded Otukpo, the anscestral hometown of the Idoma people unleashing mayhem in the process.
