A former presidential aide, Mr. Reno Omokri has said that Nigeria is suffering from worsened insecurity because the past administration of Muhammadu Buhari failed to rearrest terrorists who were illegally freed from prison.
During the Buhari administration, hundreds of terrorists on motorcycles invaded Kuje prisons in Abuja on 5th July 2022 and, according to reports, freed over 600 of the 900 inmates.
According to Omokri, the Buhari administration never rearrested the illegally freed terrorists. He said that consequently, Nigeria is suffering from that failure by way of worsening insecurity.
Omokri also knocked some politicians who served in the previous administration, including Prof. Isa Pantami, saying they lacked moral grounds to say Nigeria is facing worse insecurity under President Bola Tinubu than under Buhari.
He said: “Jailbreaks, airport invasions, and train bombings are now a thing of the past. Oil thefts have reduced, and our oil production has increased from what it was under Buhari to about 2 million barrels per day today.
“And no police stations have been destroyed in the Southeast since Buhari’s inept regime thankfully came to an end”.
