Stop packing your men inside pick up vans, Onanuga advises security agencies

The Director, Media and Publicity of the now defunct Tinubu-Shettima Campaign Organisation, Bayo Onanuga, has advised the police force to reduce the amount of men it has in a van.

This comes hours after the killing of security men in Imo state on Tuesday.

He said this in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.

Speaking on how easy the police men become target to the enemy, Onanuga said: “Dear IGP, Chief of Army Staff, NSA. Please stop packing your men inside pick up vans like sardines, in the name of security patrol. They become easy targets and sitting ducks for annihilation by the enemy.

“I wonder why we keep doing the same thing for decades and we keep getting the same tragic result. Drop the idea of using the vans and packing up to eight people inside it. The idea is archaic and we must change it immediately.

“Henceforth, buy bullet proof cars for your men to do patrols and put only two of them in each vehicle.

“They will be more nimble-footed if attacked or if they run into ambush like some of your men did today in Ehime Mbano, Imo State. I do not need to be a soldier or a policeman to offer this advice. It’s mere common sense.”
