Member Representing Langtang North & South Federal Constituency Hon. Beni Lar has called for the sack of the Nations Security Chiefs & the total overhaul of the security architecture of the Nation.

Speaking on the floor of the house during plenary Tuesday, the ranking member who decried the level of insecurity in the country called on President Mohammadu Buhari to change the current service Chiefs whose tenure has since elapsed & make way for new people with fresh ideas. 

” Boko Haram seems to have perfected their act, they seem to have a strategy that is working for them, roads are no longer pliable. All roads leading to maiduguri today have been declared unsafe. You cannot go anywhere near maiduguri & come back alive or come out without being kidnapped”. 

” We cannot sit in this chamber & pretend that all is well, we need to ask ourselves what is the strategy of the military, what is the military doing to forestall all of this? There seems to be a failure of military intelligence, there seems to be absolutely no intelligence gathering”

For citizens from Plateau, Adamawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara & indeed the entire north east. Boko Haram seems to be ahead of everybody. The National Assembly has a role to play & we cannot shy away from that responsibility.
The National Assembly ad-hoc committee on the Navy, the Army, the Airforce, the Police  & the  National Intelligence and Security Committee should tell us what is going on.

Intelligence gathering is not going on, there’s no strategy there’s no impact we are just like people in the wilderness, we are fighting a war with kids gloves , what we need is an explanation & I think we need to listen to the people in the northeast, they have been crying for a change in the security architecture of the country, the parliament has also been crying for it.

We should adapt a resolution that the speaker of the house & the senate president should meet the president and ask for the review of the security architecture of the country because most of the service Chiefs are sitting on expired offices. Maybe that is the reason this war is not being fought as it should. 

Students on their way to school are being killed, plateau students are being kidnapped, I think the house needs to take drastic measures on this issue” she said. 

This call is coming at the heels of the abduction & murder of Mr Ropvil Dapel a student of University of Maiduguri from plateau & the abduction of other Plateau indigens by Boko Haram.
