Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has called on the military to change the style used in tackling insecurity.
The governor said this when he received Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Tajudeen Abbas, at the Government House, Birnin-Kebbi, on Monday.
The governor also reinstated his call for the probe of the withdrawal of military personnel deployed to the Government Comprehensive Girls Secondary School, Maga, minutes before bandits abducted 25 schoolgirls.
“How can over 500 bandits be moving on bikes on our highways without being checked? We are doing our obligations to the security agencies. We provide them with logistics, bought over 100 vehicles for them but their security architecture is not working.”
“If we knew they would leave our girls for the bandits to take away, we wouldn’t have listened to the advice they gave us to deploy security personnel. We would have just shut down the school.
“I think some enemies are working to truncate this government and federal government; and the house must do something, especially about the lingering security situation in the country.
“Yesterday it was Kebbi, today it is Niger and Kwara; who knows who is next? We must all see to it that this insecurity must be addressed.”
