Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has called on
the federal government to beef up security as Nigeria heads
towards the 2019 general elections.
He said the call became imperative following the current
wave of insecurity.
Abubakar spoke, yesterday, when he visited survivors of the
recent suicide bomb attack in Mubi recuperating at the
Federal Medical Centre, FMC, in Yola, the Adamawa State
capital.
He said: “As we march towards 2019, insurgency,
kidnapping, armed robbery, thuggery and other forms of
insecurity are bound to be on the increase. The Federal
Government should as a matter of policy beef up security to
cope with the rising trend.”
The Turakin Adamawa suggested that the military should be
detached from operating in the internal security of the
country, stressing that the DSS, police, Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, and other para-military
organisations should be re-organised to meet the current
challenges.
He advised the Federal Government to “re-equip the para-
military organs and give them all the necessary working
materials to enable them withstand the current wave of
insecurity.”
He stressed the need for training and re-training of security
