The lawmakers of the upper legislative arm of the National Assembly has demanded the immediate sack of all security chiefs, heads of security agencies and related outfits.

The Senators made the call on Tuesday on the heels of the incessant attacks on lives and properties and the lingering security situations in the Nation.

The Senators, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency and necessity, accept the offer for assistance made to him by the British Prime Minister, Theresa May on Monday, however lamented what they called, “a lack of decisive action on the part of the executive to tackle the issue of herdsmen killings in parts of the country”.

 “We should not be ashamed to ask for help. The President met with the UK Prime Minister and she was of the opinion that Britain would help us security wise”.

Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (APC, Lagos), while contributing to the matter at hand, argued that there was need to inject fresh ideas into how the security problems in the country can be solved.

The Senator stressed that there is nowhere that is safe in Nigeria with the daily killings that the nation is engulfed in.

“The security situation has not improved and what the president need at this time is fresh ideas on how to tackle numerous security challenges confronting the nation,” Adeola added.

“We know the way the military organisations operates. Those with fresh ideas dare not come out against their superiors or else they risk premature retirement from service. So the current service chiefs should go to allow officers with fresh ideas address our alarming security issues,” He stressed further.
