Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former lecturer in the Department of Planning and strategic studies, Nigerian Defence Academy, Dr. Adeyemi Olumbaca has said despite the huge budgetary allocation and military hardware procurement, insecurity has continued to be a serious obstacle in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In an interview with DAILY POST, Adeyemi said despite several reported arrests, and killings of insurgents by the security operatives, Nigerians continue to suffer from daily kidnapping and killing by Boko Haram fighters.<\/p>\n

He said the security agencies promised to put an end to the series of senseless and unending terrorist attacks, herdsmen brutality and banditry but what is witnessed today, is an alarming rate of kidnapping, killings and demand for huge sums as ransom from families and relatives of kidnapped victims.<\/p>\n

He said in July 2021, the Nigerian Air Force took delivery of some A-29 Super Tucano Aircraft from the United States of America. The reason for the procurement of those aircraft according to the military was to aid the fight against insecurity in the northeast and other parts of the country witnessing unending security challenges.<\/p>\n

He said from 2015 to 2022, the security budget was N969 billion, while the budget in 2022 is N2.41trn, which is a 148.7 per cent increase in seven years, adding that despite this budget and spending on security in Nigeria, many parts of the country are not safe because of bandits attack<\/p>\n

He said in January to March 2022, Nigeria recorded a total of 2,968 deaths from violent killings and 1,484 abductions.<\/p>\n

He said the North West region has the highest cases with a total of 1,103, North Central 784, North East 488, South East 181, South West 127 and South-South 85 killings.<\/p>\n

He called on the federal government, and security agencies to beef up security around the 36 states and the FCT, adding that \u201d what is on ground, is not enough to convince Nigerians that they are safe in the hands of present security personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also, suggested that the military hierarchy tell the world the true position, their ability to secure this country, and if on the contrary, allow Nigerians to defend themselves<\/p>\n
