 CISLAC DEMANDS DECLARATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY ON INSECURITY 

‎

‎The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has called on the Federal Government to declare a national emergency on insecurity following the worsening wave of kidnappings, banditry, and violent attacks across Nigeria, describing the death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar in bandit captivity as tragic.

‎

‎In a statement by its Executive Director, Comrade Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, the death of a retired General in captivity is not only a personal tragedy but national that reflects the alarming state of insecurity in the country.

‎

‎The statement says there is an urgent need to strengthen intelligence gathering, improve inter-agency coordination, and dismantle the networks supporting these criminal activities

‎

‎Rafsanjani further calls for transparency and accountability in security spendings, noting that despite huge annual budgetary allocations to defence and security agencies, insecurity continues to worsen urging an improvements in the welfare, training, equipment, and operational capacity of security personnel, stressing the need for proactive, intelligence-led operations

‎

‎While acknowledging discussions on state policing, CISLAC cautions that any implementation must be guided by strong legal and accountability frameworks to prevent abuse.

‎

‎CISLAC further urges the National Assembly to intensify oversight of security institutions and ensure proper utilisation of security resources.
