A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, on Sunday urged the Nigeria Army to rejig its operational strategy with a view to effectively tackle insecurity ravaging some parts of the nation.

Oyintiloye, who expressed optimism that the nation’s current security challenges will become history with the support of all stakeholders, said the Federal Government was intensifying efforts to checkmate all forms of criminality and ensure the safety of lives and property across the country.

In a statement issued in Osogbo, Osun State capital, the former lawmaker, who hitherto represented Obokun State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, noted that President Bola Tinubu’s ultimatum to terrorists and their sponsors to desist from criminalities was timely.

According to Oyintiloye, “the resolve by President Bola Tinubu during his Democracy Day address—declaring zero tolerance for terrorists and their collaborators, was a demonstration of the administration’s commitment to restoring peace.”

Expressing confidence in the professionalism, competence, and dedication of Nigeria’s security personnel, he maintained that they possess the capacity to flush out criminal elements and restore lasting peace.

“If necessary, service chiefs should review and adjust their operational strategies without hesitation, as time is of the essence,” Oyintiloye added.

He stated further, We share the pain of parents, families, and relatives of victims currently devastated by mass abductions, especially of schoolchildren, and the ongoing killings by terrorists. It is a tragic situation, and no one would wish such experiences on themselves or their loved ones. We truly feel their pain.

“However, we must remain hopeful and continue to support government efforts to rescue those in captivity and bring perpetrators to justice. Intelligence and security operatives are actively working to identify, apprehend, and prosecute those responsible for acts of violence.

“No criminal element will be allowed to undermine the peace and stability of the nation. The government is doing everything within its power to secure the release of abducted victims and end the senseless killings across the country,” he said.

Oyintiloye, however, called on state governors to complement Tinubu’s efforts by providing adequate support and resources to security agencies within their jurisdictions.
