Replacing Service Chiefs Won’t Solve Nigeria’s Security Challenges, Says Ex-DSS Director
The former Director of the Department of State Services , Mr Mike Ejiofor, has reacted to the security challenges in several parts of the country.said the replacement of the nation’s service chiefs will not address the security concerns.
According to him, the only person authorised to change the service chiefs is President Muhammadu Buhari who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. While admitting that the heads of security and intelligence agencies have done enough in tackling the issues, their best is not yet enough. “Even if you change the service chiefs now, under the present operating circumstance and environment, there is not going to be any change.
“Our military and security services are ill-equipped; they are understaffed just like any other sector of our polity. With this pandemic coming in, it becomes a problem. But we have to move forward,” he said.
