INSECURITY: National Assembly is no longer safe – says REPS

Following the manner with which gunmen had attacked both military and police facilities in Abuja and Jaji few days ago, killing soldiers, policemen and civilians alike, members of the House of Representatives, yesterday, have declared the National Assembly complex unsafe.
This sudden alarm was brought forth by the lawmakers due to the worsening security situation in the country.
The lawmakers in a motion of urgent national importance said insecurity had reached a level where no security facility was safe again.
Hon Abubakar Momoh who led the debate said the Tuesday robbery in Auchi, Edo State which claimed the lives of three soldiers, some policemen and civilians, clearly showed that insecurity in the country was getting out of hand.
And i am wondering, if the Almighty "NATIONAL ASSEMBLY" isn't safe then where else is safe???

In a similar vein, Hon Raphael Nnanna said the successful operation by gunmen who invaded the headquarters of Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) in Abuja has shown that the security personnel lacked the capacity to stem the tide of insecurity in the country.
He explained that the invasion of SARS came less than 24 hours after a Church at Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna State was bombed by gunmen. 17 people were reportedly killed and several others injured.
In his words, He said: “The state of insecurity in the country has reached an embarrassing level. What happened in Jaji and SARS headquarters is embarrassing to the leadership and people of this nation”.
He argued that if the gunmen could operate and go unhurt at the premises of security agents, they could also invade the National Assembly.
whats your take on this situation in the nation???
