Northern Elders have called for the review of security architecture and the immediate sack of the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno, retired, over the attack on the Nigerian Defense Academy, NDA.
The group attributed Tuesday’s morning attack by bandits, which left
two military officers dead and one other abducted to failure of Nigeria’s
intelligence network.
The bandits came in a large number in the early hours of Tuesday,
killing two of the officers and kidnapping one, while some others
sustained gunshot injuries.
The organisation, in a statement following the attack, also sought an in-
depth review of the entire security architecture as according to them, the
entire security chiefs must bear the blame.
The group under the aegis of Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and
Development in the statement by its national coordinator, Engr. Zana
Goni, blamed President Muhammadu Buhari for leaving Monguno
behind at the time he replaced service chiefs.
Maintaining that their position was based on patriotism to the country,
the elders insisted that it was time for the President to do away with
Monguno following the worsening insecurity in the country.
The deteriorating security situation, according to the Coalition, is a sign
that Monguno, who manages the nation’s security was not on top of his
game.
