And also, the government should be more sincere to build public trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey also need to work more with the media as partners. The unnecessary hype of insecurity in the media is unpatriotic and a disservice to the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a popular war that requires everyone to participate for our collective security, but it must begin with our government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTerrorism is not new. There is no guarantee that it will disappear tomorrow, but with concerted efforts, government\u2019s sincerity and deployment of modern technology in our policing system and increased surveillance, I think the spade will be reduced drastically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It will be difficult to win war against terrorism without equality, justice \u2013 Don tells Tinubu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A visiting research fellow at the International Centre for Policing and Security of the University of South Wales, United Kingdom,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,466],"tags":[890,8,1648,2102,21747,192,180,291,5083,26,1422,876,685,1907],"class_list":["post-43109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-tinubu","tag-against","tag-akwa-ibom","tag-difficult","tag-don","tag-equality","tag-justice","tag-news","tag-tells","tag-terrorism","tag-tinubu","tag-war","tag-will","tag-win","tag-without"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
