Quotes The security situation in Nigeria is alarming. Government is doing its very best, but unfortunately the very best is not good enough,” he said. “Insurgents are attacking villages, killing thousands, displacing whole populations and driving people from their farmlands into IDP camps. State police will even compound the situation. Increase the federal police from 300,000 to 1.5 million. Equip them, train them, motivate them. We don’t have enough workforce. The police are slightly above 280,000 — far below the UN requirement of over two million for a country of 220 million people. The army has about 177,000 soldiers. How do they police the entire nation? We don’t pay tribute to people. It’s unfortunate. It should go beyond Armed Forces Remembrance Day. Even victims of insurgency should be included in such national commemorations. I don’t believe there is Christian genocide. In many affected states, most of those killed are Muslims. We should see this beyond religion. We are talking about human beings being killed.
