The arrangement should be 65 percent intelligence gathering, research and development, and only 30 percent for boots on ground. Because if you don\u2019t give intelligence to boots on ground, who are they going to battle? How do they know? Because nobody is wearing any uniform,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhy is it difficult for us to know that this country is being infiltrated? There\u2019s nothing like Fulani herdsmen, we have people from outside Nigeria, from Chad, from Mali, from all these countries invading us. It is not Nigerians killing Nigerians. This country is being seriously infiltrated and we are not spending money on immigration. We\u2019re not manning our borders. So if we send policemen to go out there and look for ten criminals, whereas we have opened flags for 200 criminals to come, how are they going to do it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think we should spend more money on intelligence.\u00a0Why is it more difficult for us to track source of funds, why is it more difficult for us to track source of ammunition?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor noted that the enemies of the country need to be defined as it would help in fighting insecurity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe can\u2019t continue to fight this battle unless we define the true sense of the word, the enemies of this country. We should stop flipping the dictionary to find words, Fulani herdsmen, bandits, IPOB. We are looking for names. Anybody who goes to abduct our children, abduct a clergyman, abducts a traditional ruler, burns a police station, is an enemy of state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cCan we make a determination to say, wherever that person comes from, the person should be treated as enemy of state? Because if we don\u2019t have the will power to make that determination, even the morale of the troops on ground will be questionable. Their loyalty will be questionable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu has stated that people from outside the country, not Fulani herdsmen are responsible for killings in Nigeria.
