Adopting a middle of the road approach, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , prefers fighting a wildfire with a bucket of water. If words could kill, his stern warnings and verbal threats to bandits and terrorists would have long ended the security crisis. But Nigerians have yet to see the insurgents fall over themselves to surrender their weapons or renounce their evil ways despite the General’s reprimands.
Justifying his position, he added, “Nnamdi Kanu is the leader of IPOB, a proscribed organisation. He is identifiable, in constant communication and everyone knows where he is. Nnamdi Kanu is in one place, while Shekau is waging guerrilla warfare. The insurgency is still going on and the Federal Government is not giving up.
Setting up of early warning and response systems; working with vigilantes and community leaders on the ground, while addressing structural inequalities that drive people to violence, like poverty, a lack of education and opportunity could also help in combating crimes. Curbing the flow of firearms was also recommended as a crucial measure.
