Mike Ejiofor, a former director of the Department of State Services (DSS). Says the “military forces” have been intimidated in the south-east — and as such, the new security outfit, Ebube Agu, will get little support.
He said Ebube Agu is ‘unfortunate’ and needs a legal framework and a structure to function.
Ejiofor spoke on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Monday.
He said: “What are the structures on ground before the formation of Ebube Agu? Is there any legal backing to Ebube Agu? The Eastern Security Network (ESN) that was formed, we all agree it is illegal and cannot take charge of the security space in that area.”
Ejiofor said the security outfit has no legal framework or provision for logistics.
“There is nothing on ground in the south-east to support Ebube Agu, so it’s quite unfortunate. It’s just like putting the cart before the horse. There should have been a legal framework before the launch of the operation Ebube Agu,” he said.
