Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to spare any of his security chiefs found incompetent in the discharge of their duties.
HURIWA in a statement by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, was reacting to the information filtering into the media that terrorists in their large numbers on Thursday morning invaded the LEA Primary School, Kuriga (1), in Kuriga town of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and abducted dozens of pupils.
Onwubiko said the increasing spate of attacks by terrorists have “exposed the empty propaganda by spokesmen of the military regarding what they called breakthroughs in the war on terror.
“They feed us with propaganda that they are eliminating top Commanders of terrorist groups but yet we keep reading about attacks by terrorists. So who are these terrorists that have continued to bombard parts of Nigeria including Katsina, Borno, Benue and Kaduna states?”
In a related development, HURIWA through its National Coordinator Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, wondered why for over 48 hours that the media were awash with the information that Nigeria might be on its path to peace again after a decade of fighting terrorism as a UK-based Nigerian, Yunusa Jibrin said he has leveraged on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be able to identify bandits and their hideouts in Nigeria.
HURIWA recalled that the inventor said his findings, if adopted by the federal government, would help to direct the efforts of the military towards identifying and eliminating bandits wherever they may be hiding in the country.
Jibrin who is a Master’s degree graduate in computer science from the University of Sussex, told Vanguard on Sunday that he leveraged AI-driven image synthesis to generate thousands of visual representations depicting bandits in desert environments.
He said that his research achieved remarkable accuracy in preliminary evaluations by employing the use of a Vision Transformer (VT) model to discern terrorist elements.
“I undertook an innovative approach, leveraging AI-driven image synthesis to generate thousands of visual representations depicting bandits in desert environments, complete with weapons and vehicles.
“Employing this synthesized dataset, I employed a Vision Transformer model to discern terrorist elements within the images, achieving remarkable accuracy in preliminary evaluations,” the inventor told the media.
The Rights group alleged that it is possible that conflicts entrepreneurs embedded within the Nigerian government may stop the Federal government from going for this new innovation so terrorists can be traced and crushed decisively.
