A group, Concerned Nigerians, has urged President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to act fast and end the worsening security situation in the country.
The group expressed concern that if the president does not act fast, his administration would be considered the worst in Nigeria.
In a press statement yesterday, jointly signed by its national coordinator, Segun Rotimi, deputy national coordinator, Musa Shehu and Nnamdi Sylvester, the national secretary, it called on the president to release DCP Abba Kyari so that he can solve the security challenges in the country.
According to them, Kyari knows the terrain, the system, their strategies, and how to engage communities and their leaders which usually helped him to arrest even the most dangerous of these kidnappers and bandits.
“The latest attacks on a family in Bwari Area Council where the kidnappers have killed three out of the family they kidnapped is reprehensible. Right under your nose, kidnappers are having a field day and daily kidnapping people.
“Satellite towns in the FCT are no longer safe as people are relocating to the city centres for fear of being kidnapped.
“Equally shocking are renewed attacks on passengers along the Abuja/Kaduna expressway, the Birnin Gwari expressway to Zamfara has been overtaken by kidnappers as Plateau, Zamfara, Borno and many other places where they have completely taken over.
“You are aware of one member of the Nigerian police who galvanised his colleagues and took the battle to them. He is DCP Abba Kyari.
“Abba Kyari ‘s exploits were such that he received the highest congressional award which was bequeathed to him by the House of Representatives headed by your current chief of staff, Femi Gbajabiamila during the 9th Assembly.
“He is also the best in the use of technology and skills in the use of advanced technical intelligence to fight criminals,” it said.
