Ikpeazu said instead of investing in arms and ammunition, the federal government should spend more money on intelligence.
He said intelligence would enable the government know that Fulani herdsmen are not responsible for killings, but that the country is being infiltrated by people from other countries.
“In an asymmetric battle, you don’t know where your enemy is coming from so what you do is to change the arrangement. The arrangement should be 65 percent intelligence gathering, research and development, and only 30 percent for boots on ground. Because if you don’t give intelligence to boots on ground, who are they going to battle? How do they know? Because nobody is wearing any uniform,” he said.
