 Security experts have continued to express their grief-concern over plans by accuracy to deploy its standard force to restore constitutional order in the country. Speaking to journalists on the sideline of its Lagos 2023 annual general meeting and election, the immediate past president of the Association of Licensed Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria will say in a subredo stressed that more dialogue should be explored as Nigeria will suffer the most in the event of war. We are going to go into a war. The bulk of the soldiers will be provided by Nigeria. Because of that, I said that some of the other countries will provide a battalion. A battalion of soldiers is no more than 800. So how many of them are actually ready to provide enough soldiers? And the minimum of 22 soldiers will go into that offensive. And you discover that the other countries may not provide up to 3,000 or the most 4,000. We have some counties that are actually backed out, Ghana is backed out. We discover that more of our Nigerian soldiers are the ones that will bear the brunt. So if people are going to die, there will be more of us that are going to die. So it should be more of dialogue. Because you discover that in that country, the Western powers are going to unleash all their equipment. And don't forget that that country shares borders with seven Northern states. And there's no guarantee that that war will not come into our country. So that's the part I'm worried about. We should come to dialogue with them so that we can see reason and come out of this mess. War. Nobody goes into war and come out of it. Most of us who have been born well enough, long enough, we know what a war is. We don't want a war within our neighbour, Nigerian public. But I think we can resolve it amicably. The security experts also greatly disturbed by news of purported infiltration of the sector in Lagos State Park works and alleged runaway Boko Haram insurgents calling on members of the public to be vigilant on who they engage. As private guards, as they are a security risk. While assuring members of the public of adequate security at all times, the professionals also appeal to the government at all levels. Lagos resident and Nigerians in general to always call the attention of security agencies whenever they notice any inappropriate behaviour from anyone around them. If they do not present the license, empowering them to practice, do not engage them. It is a security risk. And to those who are practicing without license, I want to warn you. It is no more business as usual. We are all out to arrest you. And once you are arrested, you must be prosecuted because you are causing economic leakage in Nigeria and that is not allowed. If you look here within the country, there is no home. There is no where you enter and there is no guard. Meaning that for us to even do anything and remain safe as a country, we should pay heed to those guards. But most times in the country, people look down on them. Forgetting that they are alive, their properties, all that concerns them is generally controlled by these guards. Now, if the government will pay heed to what they are doing and give them that attention or that cognizance to what they are doing, at least it will encourage them to do more and also encourage owners of this private company to give their all to make things go better. We have this association of registered license security companies which is helping the government in the grassroots security of the state. Unfortunately, we are confronted every time with this problem and that is we have much of this quack on license operating freely and we are appealing to the government, the agency in power to do that to let us go after these people because if anything happens, they say security. Who knows if most of these people are even Nigerians that can be used to counter our efforts in security of the state.
