The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has called out the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris and laid at his feet the blame for all the unrest in Plateau and other troubled states.
The Senate President said this while addressing newsmen when he paid a visit to communities affected by a rainstorm in Ilorin, Kwara state.
Saraki stated that if only the warnings of the Senate was heeded, Nigeria would have been better off.
“As you know, the National Assembly under my leadership, many months back, had seen this danger, called for a security summit, we had addressed the issue of security architecture. We had said that there is definitely a failure of the security architecture of the country,” the Senate President said.
He apparently pointed at the IGP’s lukewarm response as one of the reasons why things went South.
“You are all very aware that some service chiefs decided in their own wisdom that there is no need for them to work with the National Assembly to address these issues.
“There is no society that continues to see the kind of killings here and think that it should be business as usual. It requires drastic action, it requires a collaboration of all agencies and all arms of government for us to be serious.” he said
