Insurgency: Group Urges FG To Seek Foreign Help

A group, International
Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, has advised the Federal Government to deploy hi-tech crime detecting technologies in the fight against terrorism.
Mr Emeka Umeagbasi, the Chairman of the group, gave the advice  in a statement in Onitsha, Anambra State.
He said that government should also use foreign experts in the fight against terrorism.
The group said that the only way out of the multi-faceted security breaches was for government to secure services of trained terrorism intelligence experts.
“This explains why there are over four million hidden security cameras in the United Kingdom.
“The world’s two most endangered countries: Israel and USA are secured every hour through electronic security devices and super security intelligence networks,’’ it said.
The statement said that more than 60,000 Nigerians had been killed since 1999, a period of 15 years.
“In four months into 2014 alone, up to 3,000 Nigerians have been killed by criminals.
“Those killed by insurgents are believed to be over 1,500.
“While another armed opposition group, popularly known as gunmen, must have been responsible for over 1,000 deaths,’’ it said.
The group said that the insurgency was surmountable, but the country “lacks electronic security devices fundamentally needed to match the insurgents asymmetric warfare’’.
It advised those in the national conference that they had the responsibility of finding solutions to the causes of social vices in all its ramifications in the country.
