Dennis Amachree has described the federal government's silence on insecurity across the country as unpalatable, with the former State Security Service (SSS) boss saying things are going the wrong way.
Amachree, who served as assistant director of the SSS, made this known on Thursday, February 4, when he appeared on Channels TV.
The former state security agent noted that Nigeria is currently in a "tight place", adding that the presidency must speak up and rise up to the challenges.

Amachree said the country must restructure if there should be a move to the right direction. He similarly suggested that the government must tackle the problem of "proliferation of small arms and light weapons."
He further stated that regional autonomy should be given consideration since people are clamouring for regionalism and restructuring.
“The people are agitating for regionalism, then give the region’s autonomy, that does not mean that we are breaking up Nigeria.
“If the regions have the autonomy then they all can handle their problems where they are. Right now, there are too many pointing of fingers whenever something happens and you can no longer continue to do that.”
