The former director of the Department of State Security Services, Mr. Dennis Amachree, has given reasons why insecurity blossomed during the regime of former President Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria.
In his current book: “DSS@ 40: My Journey behind the shield”, Amachree blamed the administration for paying little or no attention to the escalating threats posed by insurgency, banditry and kidnapping.
Amachree also blamed the high level of corruption among top government officials and the payment of ransom by senior functionaries to kidnappers, a development he said, formally subsidised terrorism and kidnapping in Nigeria.
The author said, “The period of the Muhammadu Buhari administration is viewed as a critical time when security threats metastasized, and government indifference became palpable.
