Every human life is precious. The life of every Nigerian,
irrespective of ethnic, regional or religious affiliation is to be treated with
dignity.
All around the world, citizens look to their
government to protect them. But, here in Nigeria , the blood of the innocent
flows like water despite Nigerians’ desire and demand that government secure
their lives and property.
Not too long ago, Chief Olu Falae, a senior citizen of Nigeria , was
abducted on his farm by herdsmen. Since then, others have struck in Enugu , Delta and Oyo
states. In the Middle Belt, they have robbed, raped, and slaughtered human
beings like cows. They have taken over other people’s land in the name of
grazing.

A member of Miyetti Allah appeared on
television, justifying as retaliatory the killings in Plateau State . He
was not the first member of Miyetti Allah to make the statement. Nigerians are
baffled that he is yet to be arrested. Where were those responsible for
our security at a time they were needed most?
