Insecurity: 'Beef up surveillance around university campuses' - APC Chieftain Obidike tells Tinubu

Obidike Chukwuebuka, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asked the federal government to work out modalities for providing essential surveillance and security in schools across the country.

Obidike said this in a brief chat with Legit.ng following the kidnap of some female students of the Federal University Gusau in the Sabin Gida area of Zamfara state on Friday, September 22.

The Anambra-born APC chieftain noted that the recent mass abductions of students in Zamfara, Katsina, Adamawa and other states have raised the need for proper surveillance around the schools.

Speaking further, Obidike advised President Bola Tinubu to set up a committee to review the surveillance modalities at institutions of learning to ensure the security of students and staff.

His words: "The weak or non-existent security infrastructure in most schools across the country leaves the children vulnerable to attacks and other negative influences, hence the need to provide primary resistance against intruders and protect the school facilities.”
