People, I am a layman when it comes to knowing the internal do's and donts guiding the Nigerian Security Arms. However, my most remote insticnt tells me this is a misnormal.

I stay somewhere in the north east hitherto occupied by the Non-State Armed Groups during the heat of the conflict.

It is common place here, to see military and police trucks being driven (alone) by road-side mechanics all in the name of repairs or testing. A couple times i see the mechanics drive them recklessly.

According to one of the mechanics i interviewed, they are not made to sign weavers of any sort nor any protective vest incase of ambush.

I thought security arms have their own in-house mechanics who are trained and employed for same purpose. Why give that much access to such sensitive equipment to none military persons especally in an area with suspected sleeper cells?

I know the default argument would be that, trust may have been built over time with the mechanics. Me thinks for security reasons, and for the personal safety of those mechanics, this is not proper.

Over to the in-house security experts or personnels. Is this allowed?
