Gen Enenche counters Adeboye, says firing service chiefs won’t solve insecurity

Major General John Enenche, the former coordinator of Defence Media Operations and now retired, has responded to calls for the dismissal of military service chiefs amid the country’s rising banditry and terrorism.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), urged President Bola Tinubu to either compel the security chiefs to eliminate the terrorists or to resign.

In an interview with Arise TV on Tuesday, General Enenche said that rotating service chiefs is not the answer to Nigeria’s decade‑long security crisis.

“We have it, and that is why I’m happy because people may be thinking the service chiefs are not working. I can tell you, if you change service chiefs every six months, every one year, it is not the solution at all,” he said.

“I don’t joke with security at all. And I encourage every other person to do that. So, what we are doing is that we must, as a matter of fact, take it seriously,” he added.

“It is not beyond what we should do, because if we don’t act now, it will continue and be rolling over. They will say from this administration to another, and that must stop.”
