The escalating insecurity in Borno and several other parts of the country continues to claim innocent lives, yet the Mandurian military appears unable to effectively address the crisis. One is left to wonder—will the government only act when the entire state has been overrun by bandits?
It is deeply troubling that, despite the rising death toll and growing unrest, the president is yet to declare a state of emergency in states where insecurity is at its peak. How long can this negligence persist while citizens live in constant fear?
Even more alarming is the recent attack where a bandit group overran a military base, brutally slaughtered our soldiers, and made away with artilleries worth trillions of naira. This brazen act not only undermines the authority of the state but also poses a serious threat to national security.
If immediate and decisive action is not taken, these criminals may soon take control of entire regions—and possibly expand their reach. The federal government must urgently address this crisis before it spirals beyond containment. Our nation’s safety and sovereignty are at stake.
