The Chairman of Essien Udim Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State, Ntiedo Effiong Usoro, has faced heavy criticism on social media after proudly showcasing the equipment he supplied to the council’s local security unit to combat insecurity.
Usoro shared photos on Facebook, writing: “Yesterday, in my office, I provided the council local security unit with the necessary equipment to protect the council secretariat and other government facilities within its premises.”
The so-called “necessary equipment” included:Machetes, Torch lights, Raincoats, Rain boots
Nigerians quickly criticized the Chairman, questioning the effectiveness of the supplies against modern, gun-wielding criminals. Many also expressed concern over the image of an elderly man pictured among the security personnel, questioning his capacity to secure the neighborhood with such rudimentary tools.
