Arise’s Abduction, A National Embarrassment, Says APC Chieftain by admox2003(m): 11:14am On Dec 07, 2017 |
A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Hon. Bamidele Faparusi, has described the Sunday abduction of Senator Ayo Arise by unknown gunmen as a national embarrassment. Faparusi said the sordid scenario vividly attested to the porosity of the country’s security and how unsafe and endangered an average Nigerian has become, if a former Senator of Arise’s standing could be kidnapped in such manner. Arise, who was a Senator representing Ekiti North between 2007 and 2011, was on Sunday kidnapped alongside his driver while returning to Abuja from Oye Ekiti, his countryhome. He was kidnapped along Okene-Abuja road while traveling in his Mercedez Benz SUV. In a statement on the abduction in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, Faparusi appealed to the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris to work with all police formations in Kogi State to ensure safe release of the APC chieftain . “The way Senator Arise was kidnapped was embarrassing and condemnable. When has it become a crime for Nigerian to travel on the roads built by government as public utility. “Most worrisome was the face that he was kidnapped around 6.30pm and taken to unknown destination. “Our security must work round the clock to ensure his release. This is a worst period for Ekiti people and the State APC because Senator Arise is a distinguished son who deserves to be protected. “With the orgy of kidnappings around the country and the bombing and killings of innocent Nigerians by insurgents, there is need for overhauling of the security apparatuses to be able to rise to the challenge of securing Nigerians wherever they may be or live”, he added. On the horrendous killings of innocent Nigerians by Boko Haram in Adamawa State, Faparusi urged the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai to change the tactics by formulating and building another security architecture to tame these rampaging vampires. “With what was going on in Adamawa, it seems the Boko Haram had understood the workings of the military formations in the insurgents-infested region of the North East and there is need to change strategy. “The Nigeria Army must expand and strengthen its intelligence gathering mechanism and fortify its frontiers to avert the endless bloodshed in Adamawa. “With the current trends, it seems Boko Haram has infiltrated the security ranks and getting underhand information to foil the strategies of the Joint Task Force . “Military working on its intelligence gathering will help in smashing this sectarian group and make the country save for everybody”, he advised.
