Gives Buhari 3 days to sack officers or face protest
A pro-democracy and human rights group, Nigerian Consultative Forum, (NCF), has called on the Service Chiefs to immediately resign from their positions following their inability to secure lives and property.
The group said that security operatives had failed to prevent and pre-empt attacks on the Kaduna airport and Abuja -Kaduna bound train that claimed many lives and injured others in the last two days.
The Kaduna-bound train from Abuja was bombed by the terrorists on two successive days: 28 and 29 March, 2022, in which several passengers were killed, including a young female doctor billed to travel abroad next week as well as union leaders.
The President of the group, Dede Uzor, in an issued statement, said several unarmed and innocent persons were killed and abducted in the separate events and wondered why the Service Chiefs were still parading themselves in their respective offices after the attacks.
He lamented that apart from those who were killed, injured, or abducted, there were many whose whereabouts were still unknown, saying, We are giving them three days to be sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari without further delay or else we’ll mobilise Nigerians to protest against them.
NCF said they should immediately bow out honorably to avoid being disgraced in office, asking how can terrorists or bandits intercept an aircraft about to take off or disrupt its operation?.
The rights group said the bandits were good, because “if they had launched a hand grande or rocket launchers on the aircraft many prominent persons would have died, unlike the train attack which left the Secretary-General of Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, (TUCN), and others dead.
Uzor, however, lamented that scores of innocent Nigerians die every day, yet there is no solution by the people who are supposed to address the problems.
