Now you have risked yourself in doing that, by the time he is released, he goes to tell the people the person that arrested him. Now your family members or you are at risk. It is getting to a state where the security forces do not want to make any effort,” the CDS said.

According to him, the judiciary has frequently also released ships carrying stolen crude oil.

The Service Chiefs and Inspector General of Police are still meeting with members of the parliament.

The meeting comes after lawmakers chastised the security leaders last Thursday for sending officials who were turned down and requested the security chiefs to be present for the debate in person.

The Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, last week rejected the representation of the security heads and instead postponed the session, following a constitutional point of order.
