Abaribe Slams Non-Kinetic Approach: "It's a Highway for Criminals to Escalate Their Crimes"

Abia South Senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has expressed disapproval of the use of non-kinetic methods to address the ongoing security issues facing Nigeria.

In an interview on ‘Prime Time,’ a program on Arise Television, which was monitored by DAILY POST on Monday, Abaribe stated that the non-kinetic approach seems akin to inviting the kidnappers to return and inflict even greater harm.

The lawmaker, who was elected under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was responding to the worsening security situation in Nigeria and discussing ways to address it effectively.

“I believe my reaction was spontaneous; I was genuinely upset, what one might call righteous anger,” he said.

“This isn't the first time we have heard about a potential collusion between security agencies,” he added.

“Villagers have reported that they informed the security forces, only for them to vanish, and then they return right after the bandits have attacked.”

“The real question is how does the government function in this manner? This notion of trying pacification—what they misleadingly refer to as non-kinetic—”

“This approach is nothing more than paying someone off, enabling them to return tomorrow and commit even worse acts.”

“My frustration arises from the fact that the Nigerian army has managed to impose peace internationally; it is difficult to accept that the same army is depicted as being powerless here at home,” he concluded.
