Cyber Crime Expert, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Adeka (rtd) , has called on government to do more in the area of security by caging the sponsors of all forms of insecurity in the country.
By doing this he said will go a long way in tackling insecurity by bringing it to the bearest minimum.
Adeka disclosed this on Friday while speaking with newsmen during the unveiling of Mosque in Lafia the Nasarawa State Capital.
The Cyber Crime Expert while speaking on the efforts of security operatives in tackling the activities of bandits, kidnappers and other forms of terrorism, also called for all hands to be on deck especially in security information in order to tackle the situation in the country.
” What we are doing we are not fighting the conventional war, we are fighting a terrorist war.
” A terrorist war is not a war where the enemies are identified, you will not know them, they will strike and run away.
” What I will advice is that intelligence should be the leading light of every security operation.
” I will advise those in- charge of security management to make sure that all their operations are intelligent driven so that the collateral will be minimal and the enemies will find it more tough.
” Secondly, it is not enough to chase the foot soldiers (criminals) living their sponsors because the foot solidiers need resources and these resources are provided by the sponsors.
” So those providing these weapons and supporting to maintain these weapons and ammunition with resources including cash, government should make all efforts to get them identified and cage them. It will be more effective than chasing the criminals while their sponsors are there providing more support
“if you killed 1000 bandits or terrorists is not good to be as effective as caging 10 sponsors of terrorism” Rtd General Adeka said.
Adeka has commended the military and other security agencies in combating crime in the country.
” The military is doing the best it can, given the limited resources at its disposal supported by other security agencies,” he said.
The Islamic Scholar has assured of his determination to preach the message of unity, peace and oneness to its followers as the Chief Imam of the new mosque for the overall development of the area, the State and the country at large .
