Against the position of Nigeria’s lawmakers to sack all the Service Chiefs over insecurity, Spokesman, of the Senate, Goddiya Akwasiki has explained that President Muhammadu Buhari was yet to fire them due to the sensitive nature of the issue.
Explaining the position at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, he said the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan and the House of Reps’ Speaker, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila have held a meeting with Buhari over the resolution of the upper and lower legislative Chambers to sack the Service Chiefs which the outcome was yet to be revealed.
He said that when the Senate President came from overseas, he did say that the security architecture should be changed.
He recalled how the Senate President insisted on changing the security architecture, adding that, “As parliaments, there was an extent they could go on sensitive matters of security.
“When Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan addressed you on security issues, he spoke like a leader, but we agreed that we should set a day to discuss security issues.
“We also agreed that we will invite the Inspector General of Police to tell us what he is doing.
” Security issues are not discussed in market squares and when we meet the IG behind closed doors, he aligned with community policing.
“When the security summit was held in Lafia, he maintained the same position that community policing is the way out.
“We in the Senate are on the same page and like the IG demanded from us to come up with laws that would back the policy of community policing, we will take steps in that direction.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
