The insecurity issue in certain parts of Nigeria is becoming unbearable with each passing day. So many lives have been lost and properties worth millions of naira have been destroyed by some evildoers in the region....CONTINUE READING
Punch Newspaper recently reported that gunmen suspected to be hired herdsmen assassins, on New Year’s Day, shot dead a chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Otu Inyang.
It was reported that Mr. Otu Inyang was shot dead while returning him with his wife after the crossover service at the Qua Iboe Church in the community. The deceased was ambushed by his assassins, who fired several bullets in his head a few meters away from his residence.
Unknown gunmen for some time now have been a menace in the Southern region and are wreaking havoc there. The activities of these criminal elements have drawn the attention of the federal government and several attempts and efforts are in place to flush them out.
I commend the Akwa State Police for swinging into action, as the investigation has already begun to fetch the culprit involved in this evil act. However, I urge the police to involve local security operatives in the community to make the process less time-consuming. Justice must prevail in this matter.
The federal government should equip security operatives with we’ll sophisticated weapons to enable them to flush out these evildoers from the county. This is not just for the government alone, we all must play an active part in ensuring that Nigeria is a safe place for everyone.
What do you think the federal government can do to effectively deal with the issue of insecurity in the South, North, and other parts of the country?
