Jamil, first son of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has decried the security situation in the country. He said his heart is troubled each time he thought of the security challenges facing the country.
Writing on Twitter page, the Computing Information Systems and Multi-media graduate of Kingston University, London, wondered why peace has continued to elude many communities and states in the country. Jamil, who is a commercial pilot with IRS airline, noted that “sentimental and selfish reasons” are some of the factors responsible for the worsening state of insecurity, adding that he wished that there was peace in all the geo-political zones.
Jamil tweeted: “My heart weeps for my country. Good or bad, rotten and spoilt, but that is my country. I am so proud of my fatherland. May peace reign again in our great nation, Nigeria. Every sentimental or selfish reason shall go in vain. May we become strong every day.”
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Navy has observed that politicians in the country must also be held responsible for the worsening security situation. It accused “prominent individuals” of making inflammable statements that could destroy the fragile peace currently enjoyed in the country.
The Navy said, “The current security challenges bedeviling the nation should not be perceived as a challenge that should be tackled by security forces alone.
“Prominent individuals should desist from inflammable utterances that could breach peaceful-coexistence in the country. Some disasters can be avoided through basic precautionary measures as well as timely information to security agencies.
“Citizens should be conscious of their responsibilities in providing timely and useful info to relevant security agencies. Information on suspicious movements of individuals or groups and strange objects should be reported to security agencies.”
The Navy insisted that the Nigerian military services are capable of containing Boko Haram insurgents.
