When asked about calls by some Nigerians and lawmakers for the service chiefs to be sacked, Gbajabiamila said: “Opinions are divided; the generality of the opinion is that the service chiefs should go, that was evident in our debates in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, but sometimes you don’t want a knee-jack reaction.

So the question then arises that if he changes the service chiefs, does that address the issues of kidnapping and banditry? “The Army, Navy and Air Force are outfits set up to tackle external aggression. It is the police that is set up for internal security, such as we are all witnessing.” The Speaker further stated that the committee will periodically review the issue of security, maybe once a month or once in six weeks. On his part, Lawan said President Buhari was also very worried about the deteriorating security situation in the country. He said: “We met with Mr President over the security issues in the country and other matters of governance. The recent security challenges this country is facing require that we work very closely.” Recommended for you "Juju dey follow him oga footsteps": Israel DMW joins Davido to delete all...

The People's Democratic Party senator said his country home has been attacked by insurgents nine times in three months. Senator Abbo lamented that despite the N4.5trillion naira budgeted for security agencies in the last four years, the security situation has not improved, but has instead gotten worse.
