A former Commissioner of Police, Mr Lawrence Alobi, says the Federal Government requires strong political will to tackle insecurity.
He told The Tide source yesterday in Abuja that “government must have the political will to tackle insecurity in the country as security and policing are technologically-driven.’’
‘The Federal Government should have the political will to adequately fund security agencies and also train operatives for effective service delivery.
“If the money stolen by unscrupulous politicians was used to purchase equipment for security agencies, we will not be where we are today,’’ he said.
The ex-commissioner noted that corruption had contributed immensely to insecurity in the country.
In Tashan Alade, residents fled into the hills overlooking the village before the assailants arrived, resident Luka Musa said. When they came they went on a burning spree, burning three churches, three houses and a drug store, Musa said.
Boko Haram has stepped up attacks in recent days.
In a video it released on Saturday the group claimed responsibility for a Christmas Eve attack on a village in which 11 people died as well as the kidnap of a priest who appeared in the video.
On Thursday dozens of loggers were kidnapped and three killed near the border with Cameroon.
Boko Haram and a splinter group known as ISWAP have killed 36,000 people in the northeast and forced roughly two million to flee since 2009, according to the United Nations.

The jihadist group Boko Haram killed at least 10 people including four security personnel in raids on three villages in northeast Nigeria, local and security sources told AFP on Sunday.
Fighters in six trucks attacked the villages of Shafa, Azare and Tashan Alade in Borno state on Saturday and set fire to homes and public buildings while firing sporadically at residents.
“They killed 10 people and burt homes, shops and churches, said Sani Mohammed, head of an anti-jihadist militia.
The assailants went from village to village. In Azare, they “burnt a police station and killed two policemen, a member of the civil defence and a vigilante,” another militiaman Bulus James said.
