Famous Nigerian musician and activist, Folarin Falana, aka Falz, has called for public hearing over the failure of the Federal Government to equip the military despite the huge amounts budgeted for ammunition yearly.

Falz made the call on Monday while reacting to the security situation in the country.

Describing the situation in the country as “a national security emergency”, the singer charged “every citizen to contact their Reps and senators with coordinated emails, phone calls and WhatsApp messages”.

Speaking in a now trending video, he said “We need to call for public a hearing, broadcast on live TV, livestream for anybody anywhere in the world to watch. So many billions and billions being budgeted and being released for acquisition of arms and ammunition but what happening? While is the military still ill-equipped, why are military convoys still being ambushed by this criminals? Why was an army general murdered on video?”

Falz urged Nigerians to call for emergency “public hearing to address the strategy to defeat terrorism, rumours of an ill-equipped military and how Nigerians will be kept safe”.
