Matawalle And Call For Self-defense

There’s no denying the fact that the capacity of security forces in defeating monsters of insecurity has become questionable, in view of the ravaging insecurity ripping across Nigeria. Apart from the challenge of inadequate boots on the ground; the non-deployment of modern technologies to fight these criminals has continued to provide oxygen to insurgency and other forms of criminal activities.

Before 2015 when the birds of insecurity were yet to spread their wings beyond the North-east zone, the nation’s security personnel were overwhelmed. A security official confided in the team that inadequate boots on the ground could not withstand the overwhelming number of bandits. Those who know insist that if the war against banditry and other criminal elements is to be won, the need to recruit more security personnel is unavoidable. It is this dearth in the number of security personnel that has rendered the victory of security forces over criminals an impossible feat to be attained. The need to close the yawning gap in engaging additional hands in the fight against banditry underscores the call for self-defense.

That Governors Matawalle and Masari are now calling for self-defense reflects the sad realities of our precarious state of security. The call for self-defense by these governors questions the capacity of security forces to tackle these criminal groups. It is now clear that security personnel cannot secure citizens and their property.

Those opposed to communal engagement in securing lives of citizens are simply opposed to ending the security quagmire. A new strategy against current bloodshed should be anchored in recruitment of additional security personnel, synergies among members of security forces and a committed leadership that is determined to crush insurgency and banditry.Matawalle’s call for self-defense should not be wished away as it represents a new challenge to be met, no matter whose ox is gored.
