Group blames intelligence failure for recent killing of army general, others
Meanwhile, a coalition of 76 Non-governmental Organisations and Civil Society Activists knocked the intelligence arms of the military and the Department of State Security Services (DSS) for continued attacks on military formations and other infrastructure of the state by terrorists
The activists also lamented over the kidnapping and robbery by bandits saying the attacks were not only a setback to the war against insecurity but a blatant embarrassment to the armed forces and Nigeria in general.
