“Boko Haram insurgents who have been responsible for most heinous crimes, get their weapons from the security operatives.
“Most of the weapons used by Boko Haram come from our armoury, we will need to look into that. Why are we selling weapons to the enemy?,” Duke questioned while speaking on Channels Tv.
Donald Duke urged the federal government to developed a strategy to tackled kidnapping and also motivate the soldiers and the police deployed to the north east to achieve a better results.
“I think the soldiers in the Northeast are under-motivated, the government should motivate them. he said
“We need to task them on intelligence gathering. More of intelligence than firepower.
“Also, by now, we need to develop a strategy on kidnap. Are the police properly motivated? I doubt it, and they don’t have enough weaponry.”
