Former spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, DHQ, Major General John Enenche, rtd, has called on the Federal Government to treat bandits, kidnappers and terrorists as enemies of Nigerians.
Enenche made the remark while lamenting the recent abductions in Oyo and Borno states.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Launchtime Politics on Thursday, Enenche said the efforts of security agencies are not enough, stressing they need to do more in tackling insecurity.
He said: “You will think that we are winning but what is on the ground does not show it, I’m speaking objectively as a child and man of God to say the truth.
“How can we say that we have won the war against insurgency, terrorism, banditry, and Kidnapping, how do you separate war and peace in what we are seeing?
“I want every Nigerian, policy makers, strategic Nigerians, elders, people to forget about that and draw it into the dustbin because the war is still there.
“The other day I was sitting down and the officer that handed over to me was kidnapped, a few days before that we were hearing that of relations to a former Minister, school children in Ibadan, and Borno State.
“Of course I commend the efforts of our law enforcement agencies, however, it’s like the madness is overwhelming our efforts that we are putting in.
“We can’t fold our hands and sit down. Let us treat them as enemies of Nigerians simple.”
