Videos of the live session were shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.

@pdauda said, “Our bandits are always well kitted in GI gear with full accessories and weapons. The same camo that soldiers will make young people roll in gutters for wearing is what terrorists and bandits show off with. And the CDS or COAS are not huffing and puffing over it.”

@AllNaijaUpdates: “It’s painful to note that we are under state capture by criminals posing as state security agencies. Terrorist can’t be arrested but citizens who criticize government are arrested.”…CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>

Meanwhile, in a post on X, spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi, urged Nigerians to appreciate law enforcement’s efforts rather than expecting immediate results.

His comments followed three pictures shared on X showing suspected terrorists displaying bundles of naira notes believed to be from kidnappings.

“They are now posing with the ransom money. Showing that they are balling,” the user captioned the post.

Reacting, Adejobi said, “We can’t apprehend all the criminals at once. At least, appreciate us for the ones we have arrested. We arrest them on a daily basis, in large numbers.

“The armed forces and the police are trying their best. Efforts of security forces should be seen, noticed, and appreciated. We need to look towards having the collective efforts and individualistic involvement in tackling insecurity and other vices in Nigeria.”
