Chibok girls: Ex-Service Chiefs committed blunders, says don

Gbade Ojo
A political scientist, Dr. Gbade Ojo, yesterday faulted the former Service Chiefs for committing security blunders, especially on the abduction of the Chibok girls.
He said it was unprofessional for them to announce the locations of the Chibok girls without liberating them.
Ojo, who spoke in an interview in Ibadan, said the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to sack them was in line with the need to re-strategise on the security lapses in the country. He said there was a serious strategic lapse on the  part of one of the former Service chiefs for disclosing the whereabouts of the Chibok girls, which, he added, should have been made a secret.
“ Immediately he made the announcement, the girls were relocated. That was a serious lapse on the part of that particular service chief,” Ojo said.
He advised the newly-appointed Service chiefs to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors, saying they should collaborate with their colleagues in neighbouring countries.
Ojo noted  that the country’s techno-economic structure needed to be improved upon to tackle terrorism threats, adding that without technology, terrorism  could not be fought effectively.
