A former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Trafficking, Professor Joy Ezeilo, says Nigeria is in deep trouble with the politicization of security matters and unprofessionalism at its worst.
The statement followed the appearance of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, at the Intelligence Response Team headquarters in Abuja on Thursday.
Ajaero visited the headquarters of the police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) in Abuja following his invitation by police to address allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.
Ezeilo said it was now clear why insecurity continues to plague Nigeria, as those responsible focus on trivial matters.
The former Dean Faculty of Law, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, made this known in a post on her social media handle on Friday.
She said the issue shouldn’t have become public, thereby stirring up unnecessary controversy.
Her post on X: “If what I heard about the police interrogation of NLC Leader Joe Ajaero is true, then we’re in deep trouble with the politicization of security matters and unprofessionalism at its worst.
“What kind of leaders do we have making decisions about our collective security? It’s clear why insecurity continues to plague Nigeria, as those responsible focus on trivial matters.
“This issue shouldn’t have become public, stirring up unnecessary controversy. Enough is enough! There’s no time to waste addressing the country’s monumental insecurity.
“Police, you can and should do better than this. It’s time for action, not just words or political posturing.”
