Insecurity and political crisis have beneficiaries and sponsors. For the political class, it is fair game to exploit and deploy every instrument in the
combat repository for provincial ends. The enormity of insecurity and crisis in Nigeria does not happen without some partisan instigators. Our ruinous politics is at the heart of many of our problems.
Bandits initially went for pupils from ‘’noiseless’’ schools as items for ransom. But they soon abandoned that taste for pupils in Christian schools – where their agency can be well noised. On July 5, they attacked Living Faith School owned by Bishop David Oyedepo in Kaduna – but were unsuccessful. The same day, they blitzed Bethel Baptist School, Kaduna, kidnapping 121 pupils. And the assault on citizens in the north is not letting up.
I believe they know the sentimental value of their new preference. They know abducting pupils from Christian schools will provoke reactions and deepen the religious tension and recriminations in the country. The sheer industry deployed for this purpose by the freebooters validates this view. The political bent in this is obvious.
It is obvious the Bishop is distressed by Nigeria’s security challenges – and rightly so. He is concerned like the rest of us. Kukah unarguably has inexhaustible passion for Nigeria. Lai Mohammed, minister of information, said in a press conference weeks ago, that the government has identified highly-placed persons sponsoring secessionists in the country. Taking the word of the government for what it is, where there is smoke, there is fire. It is left for the government to bring to reckoning the ‘’big masquerades’’ behind Nigeria’s many security troubles.
