Can a President issue query to security heads?

Can a President issue query to security heads?

Yes

DubaiLandLord1:
Yes

It would be unfair to question the current set IMO.

Rather a Board of Inquiry into the administration of our longest serving service chiefs i.e the immediate past set should be looked into.

Armed bandits on Wednesday reportedly bombed a train travelling between Abuja and Kaduna, inflicting technical damages on the country’s major rail infrastructure.

Former Senator Shehu Sani said a train he rode between Kaduna and Abuja on Thursday morning nearly derailed because of an explosive that damaged a section of the tracks.

Mr Sani, in a telephone exchange with Peoples Gazette over the incident, said the bandits were targeting the trains in order to dispose of passengers of their cash and other valuable possessions. He also said the attackers opened fire on the train driver.

A spokesman for the Nigerian Railway in Abuja did not immediately return a request seeking comments on Thursday morning.

Bandits have repeatedly targeted the railway between the nation’s capital and the key northern city, which has become the preferred route for passengers seeking to avoid the perilous three-hour journey by road.

The deadly gangs have raided military bases and shot down at least one reconnaissance jet of the Nigerian Air Force. Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the military paid a ransom to the bandits to prevent President Muhammadu Buhari’s plane from being shot down.

The president has repeatedly vowed to be ruthless against the attackers largely responsible for widespread abduction and plunder of communities across Nigeria’s northwestern region.

But security agencies are warning that the gangs are becoming more armed with sophisticated combat equipment that would make it more difficult to defeat them.

The entire police bomb squad was at lekki yesterday, then the DSS were so busy denying lawyers access to court this morning.

We can’t even secure the rail network we spent $800m on, worse part is we still owe the Chinese.
We go learn by force.

NRC already suspended Abuja-kaduna rail service.
So now you’re either traveling by road, which is very risky or cough out money for air ticket, which a lot of people can’t afford.

Another twist is the bandits might start demanding money to stop blowing up train tracks. Another office

Insecurity is far more terrible under GMB.

It has never been this terrible.

Under GEJ it was just Boko Haram and Fulani heardsmen issue. But now, we dey deal with Boko Haram, ISWAP, Ansaru, Fulani heardsmen, Bandits and UGM.

GMB is responsible for the way insecurity deteriorated in Nigeria.

How?

This is the reason it's always bad to buy weapons from US, because it's always comes with fling, and control, why are they stopping NAF from using the Tucano on bandits?
Are bandits not doing even more than terrorists are doing? They have bombed Abuja-Kaduna train.
They keep killing people, and I don't know why Nigerian government don't even want to declare them Terrorists, but they are quick to label Ipob terrorists.

I dey wander the kin press statement Alhaji Lai Mohammed go release if toh say nah during GEJ tenure we see this kin thing written in this NYSC handbook.

You have to keep money for ransom before traveling on the road or train when traveling in Nigeria.

"Just" terrorism na terrorism, idiot. Keep making excuses for terrorists. Say na "just"

Even though I don't understand what you're trying to say... Your papa and mama for house nah idiot.

I wonder why it took those guys this long, though I don't know if it's entirely true cos the circumstances of the incident does not really correlate and this is not first the media is wrongly reporting technical accident on rail tracks as an attack.

I've been thinking about the possibility of this since last year, I don't know why it took them this long cos it's a very easy thing to do.
The dumbos we have as leaders will rather wait for it to happen before they take action rather than prevent it.

The only thing we need to prevent occurrences like this are just normal CCTV cameras that cover the entire rail length.
Installing one camera per 100 to 200meters will give us total coverage and wouldn't even cost us up to 2million dollars.

But now we've lost a train car, thank God no live was lost. I'm glad some part of the tracks were destroyed, that will make them cease operation for a while and probably fix the cameras b4 operation resumes.

The incident doesn't look like bomb explosion tho. But let's wait for report from the responsible stakeholders.

How do you secure rail tracks in remotest parts of the country

I don't think CCTV will cut it, may be a satellite. CCTVs are very easy to destroy especially in remote places.

Thank you oooo, i was writing a response, then deleted it. why bother lol.
these are called soft targets for a reason.
cameras go do wetin,? lol.

The reason behind the restrictions on the use of the Tucano's is because of the nature of the current North-West Crisis. "Bandits" take many civilians hostage and live among civilians as well. The Nigerian government in desperation, has adopted a ruthless approach of effective but indiscriminate airstrikes, leading to substantial civilian casualties which may not make the news.

Also, some government officials even suggest an end to payment of ransom, so airstrikes would be conducted, whether civilians are held hostage or not. This would be in direct contravention of the US Foreign Policy. More specifically, Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended in 1978: "No security assistance may be provided to any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights."

So hope you guys get it, it's not about designation. Peace out.

How else is the military supposed to take out these bandits? They always have human shields at every time.

The US military is also a gross violator of human rights. Many of their allies are also gross violators of human rights. It is pure politics.
War is ugly, especially when you are fighting people who are not subjected to any moral codes or laws made by man or God.

“Bandits are not terrorists, they don’t have a flag”

Bandits don't even have an organisation and structure., is like every Jill Jack and Harry that has a rifle can call himself a bandit, and the next day calls himself an armed robber
Defining them to terrorist would be quite difficult.. they have the traits but the structure is a problem

Following the explosion that rocked the railway track of the Abuja to Kaduna corridor, the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has suspended train services along the route indefinitely.

The managing director of the NRC, Engr. Fidet Okhiria, who confirmed the attack, said the explosives damaged the rail tracks somewhere between Dutse and Rijana.

According to him, “there was an explosive on our rail track somewhere around Rijana and Dutse last night, and this damaged the tracks.

“Efforts are currently ongoing to ensure that the train services along the Kaduna-Abuja route are fully restored,”

The NRC had in a statement on its website, said the services were suspended for the safety of passengers and crew members.

A farmer, identified as Cordelia Utazi, was allegedly hacked to death on her farm at Ugwujoro Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State Monday.

The deceased, popularly known as Oyee Eze, was weeding her farm with her daughter, Onyinye, when suspected herdsmen attacked them, leading to her death.

Vanguard gathered that her daughter drew the attention of her late mother to the presence of the herdsmen, but sensing they were going to be attacked by the fast-approaching herdsmen, the young girl took to her heels and alerted other villagers.

A source, who participated in taking the dead body of the victim to the Faith Foundation Hospital in Nsukka metropolis told Vanguard, “They were weeding in the farm when her daughter looked up and saw herdsmen with their cattle on their farm.

“The daughter, Onyinye, saw the herdsmen moving very fast towards their direction and took to her heels.

“The mother, Cordelia Utazi, also wanted to run but the herdsmen shot her. When they got to where she was lying helpless, they used cutlass to cut off her hands.

”They equally used something to smash her skull.

“It was the daughter who ran to the village to inform others of what had happened to her mother.

“In that state of confusion, the villagers rushed to the scene and discovered the woman in a pool of her blood.

“Before they could reach there, the herders had disappeared into nearby bushes with their cattle.

“It was a terrible incident in our community.

Confirming the incident, the spokesman of Enugu State Police Command, Daniel Ndukwe, said the command has commenced investigation to fish out the hoodlums who allegedly murdered a middle-aged woman on her farm.

“Investigation has been launched to fish out the hoodlums, alleged to have murdered a middle-aged woman in Ugwujoro Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani LGA in the afternoon hours of 18/10/2021. Further development will be communicated,” he said.

Also, in his reaction, the South East chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN, Gidado Siddiki, distanced members of his association from the attack, insisting that “there are no herdsmen at Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State as at today.”

While saying that those who carried out the attack are not members of his association, he added that not every herdsman seen in the bush is a member of MACBAN.

The Nigerian Army has been described as a useless organisation filled with corrupt generals and unable to protect the country from mutating violence, The Economist reported in its latest issue.

“Nigeria’s army is mighty on paper,” the London magazine said. “But many of its soldiers are “ghosts” who exist only on the payroll, and much of its equipment is stolen and sold to insurgents.”

The Economist said Nigeria has not been able to address its insecurity because military chiefs have plundered much of the country’s combat resources and the rest had stretched thin with little capacity to forestall the crisis.

“The army is also stretched thin, having been deployed to all of Nigeria’s state,” the paper said in its upcoming October 23 issued that was published on its website today.

The paper also said Nigeria police has become demoralised due to poor training and endemic corruption.

“The police are understaffed, demoralised and poorly trained. Many supplement their low pay by robbing the public they have sworn to protect,” it said.

A spokesman for the Nigerian Army did not immediately return requests seeking comments. Nigerian military chiefs have for years faced allegations of corruption and collusion with violent criminals as a way of keeping themselves enriched.

A large cache of military weapons had ended in the hands of insurgents since 2016. In July 2019, Nigerian soldiers fled with hundreds of millions of NAIRA they were asked to transport to Abuja by an army general.

The money loot was immediately traced to Hakeem Otiki, a major-general who was subsequently dismissed from service after a military trial. Anti-corruption activists said the Nigerian Army took action because the soldiers fled with the loot and the scandal became public.
