The Nigerian Navy has urged the Federal Government to build a wall across the country’s borders to stop proliferation of arms and ammunition.
Commodore Jemima Malafa, who represented the Nigerian Navy, said
this during an interactive session on four bills pending before the House
of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence in
Abuja.
Shehu Ahmed, representative of the Department of Security Service in
his contribution said the proposed bill for the establishment of the
commission was commendable.
He, however, said that the appointment of members to be in charge of
the commission should have nothing to do with politics because of the
sensitive nature of the commission and that the Director-General of the
commission should not be encumbered with too much power, adding that
people of questionable characters should not be allowed to work in such
office.
He also called for the independence of the commission, adding that
henceforth, it did not have to source for staff from other security
agencies and that on CCTV, all the security agencies should have access
to it to aide investigation of any kind, adding that the explosive act bill
would help achieve the desired national security.
