He said the recent Kuje prison break has sent a strong signal to Nigerians and Nigeria that all is not well, and canvassed for a proactive step by the government to ensure that law and order, are restored especially as the nation is moving towards the election year.
Isiguzo noted that the rate at which terrorist groups attack is becoming worrisome hence citizens safety is no longer guaranteed in the country, thus urging the security agencies to act fast and rescue the country.
