The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has commended President Bola Tinubu, security personnel, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, the National Security Adviser, Nuru Ribadu and other well-meaning Nigerians for their efforts in securing the release of the 137 school children abducted in Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia; the National Publicity Secretary, Ohanaeze, in a press statement he signed on Tuesday also stressed the importance of establishing state police in fighting criminality.
The statement read, “It’s very heartwarming that President Bola Tinubu had shortly after the abduction stated that the Government would not negotiate with the kidnappers and assured Nigerians that the school children would be rescued.
“The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide Chief Engr. Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu (Ahaejiagamba Ndigbo) is elated that this is a new development, indeed a paradigm shift from the previous deplorable relationship that had existed between the kidnappers, bandits and miscreants on one hand and the Nigerian governments on the other.
The Igbo leader enthused that the courage, tenacity, commitment, content and character displayed by Mr. President towards a ransom-free release of the school children is an indication of several greater things to come.
“Evidently, the notorious double dealers, collaborators, bandit apologists, negotiators and unrepentant accomplices to the kidnappers will soon be put out on the market.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo appreciates the roles played by the locals, the good people of Kuriga community and the Chikun local government area to achieve the exceptional success.
“This goes to reinforce the Ohanaeze Ndigbo position on the need to restructure the Nigerian security system to reflect degrees of autonomy at state, local government and community levels. This is because the local security operatives are very conversant with the local terrain, topography, language and cultural cosmology of their environments and are best placed to combat crimes in their various jurisdictions. In practical and comparative terms, there is hardly any known federal system that operates a central security architecture,” Ohanaeze added.
