Arewa Group Blasts MBuhari, Governors Over Growing Insecurity | Sahara Reporters Our porous borders have given them room to sneak into the country illegally and kill Nigerians on Nigerian soil. They move around freely without fear...NigeriaGov READ MORE:
A civil society group, Arewa Lives Matter, has demanded that the federal and state governments take decisive actions to end the violence and incessant killings in Northern Nigeria.
The group lamented that the people were now at the mercy of armed gangs, who roam their towns and villages at will to wreak havoc. Bilal Adamu Halilu, Convener of Arewa Lives Matter, in a statement on Wednesday, said that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and governors of the Northern region had woefully failed in the provision of security and welfare for the people.
The statement reads, “Fast forward to 2020 and security has increasingly deteriorated. More states are under threat and security challenges have increased overwhelmingly. People are killed, injured or kidnapped almost on a daily basis. Farms and houses are razed. Nigerians are increasingly displaced in their thousands. Families that were living happy lives have been reduced to pain, anguish and a state of sober melancholy.
“Most of these problems are far more widespread in Northern Nigeria, particularly the horrors of terrorism, insurgency, cattle rustling, farmers/herders clash, kidnapping, rape and banditry. In fact, 88% of Nigerian deaths resulting specifically from violence motivated by political, economic, or social grievances took place in Northern Nigeria , from April 2019 to May 2020.“During that period, 7,986 lives have been lost to the violence.
