Hon Ka’Amuna Ibrahim Khadi is the Deputy Chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Marine as well as a member of the Committee on Petroleum (Upstream). In this with IHEANACHO NWOSU in Abuja, the lawmaker, who represents Jere Constituency in Borno State, spoke on the rising cases of piracy and insurgency in his state, among others.
How would you react to the rising cases of piracy in the Nigerian waters ?
I don’t think the security is doing enough. Each time we go on oversight to NIMASA, the DG keeps promising and telling us that they are tackling the piracy issue. About two years ago we had a marine workshop, the DG stood before Mr President and said that piracy and oil theft would end in 30 days. It is two years since after the promise but nothing has happened. I don’t think the security is doing enough. There was a time we went on oversight at NIMASA and we were taken to Dockyard, they asked us to go on the sea and look at the ship that the security arrested in connection with piracy, we told them that there was no point. The security has the capacity to stop the crime, it can stop oil theft if it does its work well.
