Adekoya wants security overhaul

Leading lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mrs. Funke Adekoya (SAN) has urged the Federal Government to urgently overhaul the nation’s security architecture to tackle growing insurgency and secure lives and property.

Speaking yesterday, Adekoya commiserated with the families of the victims of the Nyanya bombing, describing the abduction of over 100 students of Government Girls Secondary School in Maiduguri as “scary.”

Adekoya who is former Nigeria bar Association 1st Vice President commended the security agencies for rescuing some the girls, urging them to “spare no effort” in ensuring that all the students are reunited with their loved ones.

“This is one of the worst nightmares a parent can face in his or her lifetime. The trauma must be indescribable. That is why all hands must be on deck to ensure that every single girl affected by this abduction is speedily reunited with her family.”

Adekoya urged the security agencies to completely overhaul their security machinery to ensure that schools especially in the North East of the country are given adequate protection.
