Imo attack: Time has come for sincerity and nationalistic approach by government to address Insecurity – Abaribe

The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has urged the Federal Government to be more sincere and Nationalistic in handling the security affairs of the country.

Abaribe who was reacting to the recent attacks in Imo State noted that the Imo attacks called for deeper introspection and painstaking investigation by the relevant security agencies so that Justice can be served.

His assertion was contained in a statement released by his Media Adviser, Uchenna Awom.

“”Time has come for sincerity and nationalistic approach by government to address the myriad of problems besetting the country, especially insecurity and poor management of the country’s diversity.

The time for a knee-jerk approach and fixated mindset in the investigation of criminal attacks by the security agencies has gone. It is not enough to be driven by a certain mindset, which has the tendency of foreclosing other probable leads and motives during investigations of very serious crimes like the ones we are currently experiencing.

“This time calls for deeper introspection and painstaking investigation by the relevant security agencies so that we nip these dangerous dimensions in the bud if the country must be rescued from falling off the cliff,” Senator Abaribe said.

The senator while sympathizing with the Police and other security agencies that were affected by the recent attacks said that thorough investigations have to be done on the issue of attacks on police and security agencies in the Nation

He condemned the frightening surge of violence in the South East, particularly the attack on the Correctional Centre in Owerri, the Ebonyi and Enugu states and urged the security agencies to dig in and unravel the motives behind the incessant attacks and apprehend the criminal elements to face the full weight of the law.
