He disclosed that the Federal Government even with the setting up of an 11 member committee to look at the threats within the Transport Sector and come up with solutions.
He urged the Federal Government to do a Post Mortem analysis of the situation to know the why and what of the attack and how to prevent further occurrences in the future.
He said the fact the minister of Transportation was in Edo State where he talked about integrating the community into the Security arrangement for the Train Station is something that should have happened earlier especially for critical infrastructures like the Transport system.
He called for not only the adoption of the American Type Political system by Nigeria but the security architecture too.
He said the people must not live in fear adding that once that happens, Security has been defeated.
Going Further, he said the essence of Crime prevention is to reduce Crime rate adding that Crime will always be there no matter what is done.
