The killings in Ungushi, Sokoto, where 32 Nigerians reportedly lost their lives, and the recent attacks in Ukum, Benue, where more lives have been lost and several others injured, are deeply painful.
These are not just numbers. They are parents, children, farmers,
and breadwinners whose lives have been cut short, leaving families devastated
and communities in fear.
We cannot continue with a cycle of killings, condolences, promises, and inaction. The government at all levels must prioritise addressing insecurity.
We need better intelligence, proactive security, swift
responses, protection for vulnerable communities, and the diligent prosecution
of perpetrators.
The government must endeavour to protect the lives and property
of its citizens. Nigerians should be able to sleep peacefully in their homes,
travel safely on our roads, and go to their farms without fear.
I extend my condolences to the families and communities affected
by these senseless killings. May God comfort the bereaved, may Almighty Allah
forgive the departed, and may our nation find lasting peace.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
