Harrison Itulua, the public relations officer for the Human Rights Protection Congress, Nigeria’s HRPC, and the Citizens Rights Concern Enhancement Initiative, urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to allocate funds for security and purchase high-tech weapons and ammunition for the Nigerian military to combat kidnapping, terrorism, and other crimes in the nation.

Itulua made the request during the group’s just finished second annual dialogue in Effurun, Delta State’s Uvwie Local Government Area.

He maintained that the nation possesses the means to provide the military with weapons and ammunition so they can confront insecurity head-on.

Uncertainty is a major issue. It’s a widespread issue in the nation. The President ought to spend cash on security. Permit him to spend heavily there. Purchase weapons and ammunition that is comparable to that of the terrorists who are travelling from other countries to Nigeria.

Itulua emphasised that “Nigerian terrorists are also coming from other places,” even if she acknowledged that terrorists and bandits are not the only ones producing instability in the country.

Additionally, he asserted that if insecurity weren’t political, it would have been resolved long ago.

“That’s why we are backwards, and we will stay backwards until insecurity is reduced to the barest minimum,” he declared.

Itulua criticised President Tinubu for his independence speech, in which he allegedly claimed that security concerns had been resolved. He says that Tinubu’s remarks regarding insecurity are not appropriate. He claimed that nationwide insecurity is rising.

“I am unable to accept the President’s statement as I have personally experienced kidnapping.” I don’t think he is telling us the truth if he claims to have dealt with insecurity since he doesn’t really care about the people.
