Reacting to the frequent bomb blasts in the country, Ben Bruce shared with Nigerians his idea of how to prevent Boko Haram attacks. 

I’m glad that even President @MBuhari now sees that Nigeria needs local police. Our present security challenges demand community policing.

With the frequency of bomb blasts, the FG should consider airing Ads on TV teaching people how to identify a possible suicide bomber.

Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) also condoled with people of Borno and Adamawa states over terrorist attacks that left many people dead and seriously injured.

According to the party, people should take solace from the fact that the attacks will not endure because of the stepped up campaign by the Nigerian army.

“The spike in the attacks in recent times is a direct reflection of the huge successes by the military in flushing the Boko Haram terrorists out of their strongholds and putting them on the run. With no fortress to call their own any more, having being smoked out of Sambisa Forest and removed from their ‘caliphates’, they have resorted to these cowardly attacks aimed at soft targets,” the APC said.
