Hi Eluka it is really difficult to blame the governor or the people of Borno here because, constitutionally, they’re not allowed to defend themselves. That is, it is illegal for the governor to operate a state police nor can the people carry organize a “community police”. The Chibok and Boko Haram and similar problems point out the need for a serious debate about “community policing” in Nigeria as it is clear that the Nigerian government, with the Police and the Army alone, are incapable of protecting communities all over Nigeria.

The governor of Borno is the chief security officer of the state and he collects millions of Naira just to carry out this singular job, and under his nose, girls have been abducted on two occassions under one month, these Boko Haram members have shot for hours and yet no meaningful resistance has come from the state security aparatii. People in Borno who should know all the bushes in their state now claim that they dont know where their daughters are staying.The First Lady called for a meeting of the women involved and some refused to answer her. WHO IS FOOLING WHO? The President has an obligation within the confirns of his Presidential constitutional rights to act. Every person in Nigeria is now used to the concept of community policing, what are they doing there in Bornu? Who gave the BH members those heavy military amunitions they are using? I think we are now reaping the negative effect of long military administration in this country that gave these men the opportunity to hide these heavy materials. These guys now feel that it is now time for them to thrown in their jokers. Do they expect GEJ to to be every where. THIS IS NOT MILITARY ADMINISTRATION and I believe that it will take an average Nigerian a long time to change his or her mind-set from military mentality to what democracy may imply. Note that… BOKO HARAM IS A JIHAD AND BORNU IS THEIR HEADQUATER
