The Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, has to go. The reason is simple. He caused the recent suicide bombing in Abuja. As a matter of fact, he was the target.
Just when the federal government (who are tired of keeping quiet) and Borno state government (who are tired of being under pressure) were making headway with the Boko Haram, and were about placating those headless chickens, Ringim made a harmful error. He said the days of Boko Haram were numbered, and boasted how they would be dealt with. Two days later, Boko Haram struck. I think Ringim must have been their target.
But why must he make such threats when he and his troops had nothing to offer? Now, all FG and Borno state started, have been shattered by a limelight-seeking and popularity-loving man.
He should honourably resign. And if he doesn't, president GEJ must take actions. We need actions, not talks. Ringim has given us the latter.
