Insecurity: Declare War On Terrorists – Kila Urges Tinubu
Policy analyst Anthony Kila urged President Tinubu to officially "declare war" on terrorists, advocating for a forceful military response, increased troop deployment, and the use of superior force to combat insecurity. Kila acknowledged the socio-economic factors contributing to the problem but emphasized the need to eliminate those posing a threat to lives. Former DSS Director Dennis Amachree stressed the importance of arresting and prosecuting those financing or sabotaging national security efforts, deeming mere announcements insufficient. He highlighted the need to instill fear in potential perpetrators and expose saboteurs within the military and political spheres. Amachree expressed confidence in the new Minister of Defence's commitment to addressing these issues.
