Major Gen. Henry Ayoola (rtd), former Chief of Defence Research and Development has said that Nigeria’s Armed Forces need overwhelming power to triumph over the various security challenges facing the country, particularly Boko Haram in the Northeast.
Ayoola, a former Commander of the Operation Safe Haven in Nigeria’s north-central region, stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Newsnight which aired on Monday.
He explained that with the combination of more personnel, arms and strategic training, several security threats such as banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, among others, can be effectively tackled.
Ayoola said, “What we need to win that war and win it in the shortest time is overwhelming force. When I say overwhelming force, it starts with the troops on the ground, the numbers.
