Dennis Amachree, former director of the Department of State Services (DSS), stated that President Bola Tinubu’s recently declared nationwide security emergency would only be effective if those responsible for the insecurity were detained and brought to justice.
Amachree made this clear during a conversation on Politics Today on Channels Television.
According to him, “I believe that arrests are required for this state of emergency to be more effective.” We haven’t seen any arrests yet, so let’s not just say that these individuals have been identified as financiers.
He was responding to inquiries about alleged sabotage within the security structure, including the reports of military resumption prior to the kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi State and the killing of Major General Musa Uba.
“I believe there are saboteurs, and we need to be aware of this in both politics and the military. However, I’m pleased that General Christopher Musa, the new defense minister, has declared that he is pursuing them. We need to repress those who finance projects and support organizations, he added.

Amachree argued that official declarations must be accompanied by specifics.
There should be a warrant for arrest, and we must of course instill fear in their hearts to make sure they are unable to do anything and escape.
“You’re not just threatening the country, but you’re also moving on, moving on.” I believe that the government needs to “push its feet.”
In response to the rise in gunmen and suspected terrorists’ abductions and attacks, President Tinubu declared a national security emergency on November 26.
He added that more personnel could be hired by the police and the military.
