Sunday Politics on December 20, 2020 lamented the security situation in the country.
A political historian, Dr Usman Bugaje, has lamented the security situation in the country, saying things have deteriorated.
Bugaje, who spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s
Sunday Politics, said although the Federal Government made some gains in tackling insecurity in 2016, it, however, failed to consolidate on the improvements made.
“Immediately this government came, they took measures and things improved but it didn’t last long, it wasn’t sustained,” he said.
“What has happened thereafter is that things have deteriorated to a level that was inconceivable at that particular time.

A retired senior officer of the Nigerian Air Force, Group Captain Sadeeq Shehu, has advised the Federal Government and authorities in Katsina on the rescue of the schoolboys who have been missing since two days ago.
He specifically warned against the use of force in the bid to rescue the boys and recommended negotiation as the first step to take.
Shehu, who is an adjunct professor at the George Marshall European Centre for Security Studies in Germany, made the remarks during his appearance on
Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“As we are going into the rescue operation, I would like to sympathise with the people that are involved and also to commiserate with the security officers and at the same time, to sound a warning, in all honesty, I am not completely comfortable when I heard that there was an exchange of fire,” he said.
