During an interview on Channels Television, he recounted his firsthand observations from a visit to a camp in Gombe State. He shared that several surrendered fighters candidly admitted that, even after serving prison time or completing rehabilitation, they planned to rejoin their armed groups.

Highlighting the limitations of relying solely on peace-building and rehabilitation efforts, he remarked:

“They have killed people all over the place and say they are repenting later. I was part of it. I even went to their camp in Gombe to interview them, and some would tell me that even if you take me to prison and bring me out, I am still going back and join them. What do you do? That means we take the bull by the horns.”

He emphasized that while some may reform, others remain dangerously committed to violence, posing a continued threat to the public. Consequently, he argued that security agencies must adopt a more robust, multi-faceted approach, prioritizing the decisive dismantling of criminal networks to effectively restore peace and security in affected regions.

The Origin of the Dispute

The Presidential Aide’s Response

• Segun Dada fired back at the entertainer, emphasizing that security personnel and soldiers routinely and willingly risk their lives to defend the country and protect its citizens.

• Dada argued that the sacrifices made by the military to safeguard lives and property should not be minimized.

• The presidential aide also launched a personal attack on Nasboi, characterizing him as unsuccessful in his attempts at comedy, skitmaking, and music.

• Dada stated: “Members of the armed forces give their lives for the nation without question to safeguard lives and properties. This failed comedian/failed skit maker /failed musician has the gall to rubbish the sacrifices because of the fighting men and women of the armed forces”.
