Global security Analyst, Dickson Osaije proffers solutions To Nigerian Insecurity Issues

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sahara Weekly Reports That The Nigerian Security Expert, Military Veteran, and Global Security Analyst Dickson Omodiale Osajie is arguably an authority when it comes to security issues globally and in Nigeria specifically. While being invited as a guest on popular TVC News Nigeria to speak on the Igueben train attack and Kidnapping rate in Nigeria he proffered highly recommendable solutions. Excerpts…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nigerians have been perceiving the train attack threat but seems we are accepting the threat by not planning to avert futuristic occurrence as the Ministry of transportation should have declared a state of emergency on our railroad transportation system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We must spend time, applying techniques, integrating security design, and effective access control management systems to protect our critical Infrastructure as a country to avoid swift penetration of our critical infrastructure by criminal elements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our security agencies are doing so well staking their lives for the survival of Nigeria. Our Response mechanism is fine, but it defeats the reason why we need security because security is defeated, after the occasion of the crime, hence proactive measures are best for security management as they prevent the loss of lives and property.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Nigerian Railway station should have carried out a postmortem analysis after the Kaduna train station attack, and assessed the situation to project reasonable security force to prevent future reoccurrence. They should not blame the Nigerian police or our security agent for the incidents in IGUEBEN, because they owe Nigerians the duty of care and must assess crime-prone areas of its facilities and proffer mitigation factors, and involved the police with its crime mapping report.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The swift accessibility of critical infrastructure by criminal elements is a clear indication that our government does not integrate effective security design in its infrastructural developmental stages, we cannot continue to give this guy’s swift opportunity to commit a crime without a swift response and proactive mechanism in place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The government holds Nigerians’ duty of care whenever citizens are in its facilities and as such should be able to ensure the families of the victims do not pay a dime of the demanded ransom payment by those kidnappers. The government must rescue them swiftly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s be clear, crime can never be eliminated. We will all live with it till eternity, but the essence of crime prevention is to reduce the rate and possibly prevent its occurrence with a multidimensional approach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We should project CCTV on our highways and railway lines, the beautiful essence of CCTV is first known as a psychological deterrence in crime prevention Strategies which is to curtail crime in progress, and secondly for analysis of an incident or after the commission of the crime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crime has been flo fishing in our land, simply because people commit a crime and go free without consequences. The essence of crime prevention is to delay, deter, detect, deprive and deny the criminal elements from committing such acts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, let’s talk about the crime triangle. The CRIME TRIANGLE consists of three components: OPPORTUNITY, DESIRABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY. In every successful crime, there exists an OPPORTUNITY, this is the reason why we should not allow the criminal elements to exploit our vulnerability because your vulnerability is the criminals’ Opportunity. That’s why our security agencies need to close up every criminal opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We should start looking more at delay mechanisms in the crime control approach. Criminals don’t like delay, this stressed them out during operations, the criminal intent is to swiftly commit a crime and take a departure from the scene. Criminals don’t like delay, give them that delay through layer protection in all our critical infrastructure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The major threat we are being faced with now is opportunistic crime, where innocent beautiful Nigerians run into crime in progress or are attacked daily. In the exception of opportunistic crime, criminals do carry out surveillance of their target, and as such counter surveillance is expected from us as citizens and a country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kidnapping is on the high rise in Nigeria. Armed robbery is no longer invoked, most armed robbers have potted into kidnapping, why? Because the risk implications of the kidnapping are low compared to armed robbery. We have various types of kidnapping. We have high net worth kidnapping, express kidnapping, tiger kidnapping, political kidnapping, child abduction, etc. *Our government must lead by example by avoiding* political kidnapping. Unknown to the government each time you detained someone illegally and as well go against court orders to release such persons, refusing court orders and keeping that person is classified as political kidnapping.
For us to stop kidnapping, our political leaders must avoid corruption and diversion of public funds, create jobs, punish crime actors, robust education, good infrastructure, economic development, food security, agricultural development, and make the society a sane one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Government must stop *the CERTIFICATION OF CRIME*, and must not erroneously certify crime through the speedy projection of proclaimed REPENTANT TERterroristsd criminals back to society. These criminals have sent our beautiful officers and men to their early graves, and what parameters did our government use to measure their repentance? Was it during milthe itary high-fire bombardment that they could not withstand and surrender? Or during hunger in the bush, lack of escape route for them? Why project repentant terrorists to society swiftly? we must remember it is an ideologically driven war and such drives could last till eternity. I suggest that these criminals must be imprisoned and rehabilitated back into society.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s talk about punishment. Punishment is a beautiful aspect of crime prevention. Punishment plays two roles which are specific and general deterrencperspectivesve. People must be punished for the crime they commit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anti Ransom payment laws by the federal government will not be effective as well, this is due to how vulnerable we are security-wise in our nation and so the crime rate would be very high

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Government needs to know that they are the first victim of any terrorist act, the direct victims are the secondary victims from a criminology point of view. The essence of attacking government critical infrastructure is to shame and embarrass the government, so our government must rise to the task.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our policing system needs to be urgently reviewed. We have been practicing a centralized policing system and that’s why we always centralized our problem, we need to decentralize our Policing system. We borrowed our Constitutional system from the US but forgot to borrow their security system which is working perfectly for them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our security agent must carry out in-house cleansing to take out the bad agent that abuses the rmation management system. Nigerians must have trust in our security agents before they can pass vital pieces of information to them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a country, we must eliminate any risk that poses a threat to Syrian citizens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our youth must also remember that Nigeria would be great again, they should abstain from crime, crime does not go to pa, and offense   puts you in a state of fear every day. stay off crime, develop your self and you will get there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not derive your success and joy, but putting others in pain, greave, tears, and sorrow, it is a demonic success

 

 

 

God bless Nigerian Youth, God bless Nigeria, and Protect our Troops

Terrorism: UK warns Citizens Over Attack In Some States In Nigeria

The United Kingdom has advised its citizens against travelling to 22 states in Nigeria.

This was as it cleared the Federal Capital Territory from the list, though with caution.

 

 

It may not be unconnected to the security situation in the country.

This was contained in a press release by the British High Commission, Abuja, on Monday titled, “Updated Foreign Commonwealth Development Office Travel Advice to British Nationals Traveling to the FCT.”

 

 

 

According to the high commission, the purpose of the travel update is to help its nationals make better-informed decisions about international travel and plan for a trouble-free trip.

The statement read, “FCDO travel advice exists to inform British nationals so they can make decisions about travelling abroad. There continues to be a number of states in Nigeria where we advise British Nationals against all but essential travel. These include: Bauchi, Kano, Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kogi, Abia, Plateau, Taraba, within 20km of the border with Niger in Kebbi State and non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers States.

 

 

 

“We also advise against all travel to: Borno State, Yobe State, Adamawa State, Gombe State, Kaduna State, Katsina State, Zamfara state, and the riverine areas of Delta State, Bayelsa State, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State.

“The UK keeps its travel advice under regular review and in making these assessments, and uses information from a wide range of sources. The travel advice is constantly reviewed to make sure it reflects the current situation in Abuja and Nigeria. Although, the FCDO Travel Advice no longer advises against all but essential travel to the Federal Capital Territory, including the city of Abuja, it makes clear that some risks remain.”
