The National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has said that the recent surge in insecurity in Nigeria has reached a level that demands urgent attention from all authorities, especially the federal government.
Kwankwaso in a statement issued Wednesday noted that the kidnap of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi State was deeply worrying and echoes a disturbing pattern from the recent past.
He added that the abduction and subsequent killing of Brigadier Gen. M. Uba by terrorists in Borno State was one of the darkest moments in the nation’s fight against terrorism.
Kwankwaso added: “This shocking intelligence and operational failure demands an immediate and thorough investigation.
“Furthermore, mass kidnappings have been reported in Zamfara State, which is truly heartbreaking. I urge the swift rescue of the victims.
“On another front, the recent surge in bandit attacks across Shanono and Ghari Local Government Areas in Kano State demands urgent concern and immediate action.”
Kwankwaso stressed that it was heartening to note the Kano State government’s swift response, including the donation of operational vehicles to security forces.
According to him, The federal government must fulfill its primary responsibility. These incidents are not isolated; they reveal serious setbacks in the battle against insecurity.
Kwankwaso called on the authorities to take decisive action by reinvigorating the armed forces and empowering the Nigeria Police Force to effectively protect and defend our people from these acts of terror.
