Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the service chiefs to look inwards for solution to the resurgence of insurgency, alleging that the Federal Government has concealed the identities of key sponsors of terrorists.
  
In a statement, yesterday, by the National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, the rights group informed that heads of the military institutions had collectively accepted to live with the reality that they could not uproot internal moles and saboteurs within. 
  
He berated President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration for inability to secure the country, despite its humongous electoral promises. 
  
“The President is lackadaisical about the issues of insecurity and the frightening dimensions that terrorists have carved franchise and sophisticated well organised criminal network of kidnapping.
  
“The terrorists have infiltrated the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) because the President, his cabinet members and legislators at the National Assembly are protected round the clock at public costs by brigades of guards and by some of the elite and vastly trained, equipped and motivated fighting force within the military and police,” he said. 
 
According to him, the President needs to feel the apprehensions and pangs of the hoi poloi and then do the needful because if this heightened state of insecurity continues, the political office holders will lose legitimacy and anarchy would be let loose in the country.
  
HURIWA added: “A former communications minister under the administration of Muhammadu Buhari has just told us that the simple reason the military and police could not catch kidnappers is because the security chiefs have refused to use the national identity numbers of every phone user that have been synchronised with their banking transactions.
  
“So, the question to ask the President is, why have the heads of security institutions yet to use the technology that Nigeria spent so much of public funds to set up?”
  
The group recalled that the Tinubu-led Federal Government said it would not name and shame identified financiers of terrorism in the country, which it pointed to as a clear sign of a government being sympathetic to terrorists. 
 
It appealed to Tinubu to act fast and decisively before the kidnappers start going from house to house in Maitama, Asokoro, Garki and Wuse to pick whomsoever they wish to kidnap or even introduce monthly ‘Freedom From Kidnapping Tax’ on residents of Abuja metropolis.
