Insecurity: Nigeria Now a ‘Killing Discipline’ — Atiku Decries Repeated Massacres

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the reported killings in components of Kwara, Katsina and Benue states, describing them as additional proof that Nigeria has was a “killing discipline.”

In an announcement, Atiku mentioned the rising scale and frequency of the assaults level to a catastrophic failure of the state to safeguard its residents, notably probably the most weak.

He faulted what he described as routine condemnations issued after mass burials, stressing that such responses have been now not acceptable.

Based on him, safety operations should transfer away from being reactive and as a substitute grow to be proactive, deliberate and preventive.

He warned that communities which can be repeatedly attacked shouldn’t be deserted and left as open searching grounds for criminals.

Expressing deep anguish over the violence, the previous vice chairman urged the federal authorities, state governments and native communities to behave decisively and collectively to finish the killings.

He emphasised that the dying of even one Nigerian represents an unforgivable failure of governance.

Posting on X, Atiku wrote, “The reported massacres in components of Kwara, Katsina and Benue are a damning affirmation that Nigeria has descended right into a killing discipline.

“The dimensions and frequency of those assaults expose a catastrophic failure of the state to guard the lives of its residents, particularly probably the most weak.

“Empty condemnations after mass burials are now not acceptable. Safety should be proactive, deliberate and preventive, not reactive. Communities repeatedly attacked should not be left as open searching grounds for criminals.

“I’m deeply pained by these killings. I name on the federal authorities, states, and communities to behave decisively and in live performance to finish this bloodletting.

“The homicide of even one Nigerian is an unforgivable failure.”
