Communities in the three zones of the North, which have been under incessant attacks by bandits and terrorists are looking up to President Bola Tinubu and the new service chiefs for lasting peace in their areas, ANIMASAHUN SALMAN and JOHN CHARLES write
The meeting agreed that the members of the vigilante groups should work hand in hand with the conventional security agencies to ensure total compliance with law and order in dealing with security issues.“The meeting identified a lack of general welfare of security personnel attached to flash points as one area that needs urgent attention to boost their morale.
The governor, however, promised to look into logistics and other challenges hindering the smooth operations of the security personnel deployed in flash points across the state. Meanwhile, no fewer than 26 people have been killed in the past one month in some parts of Benue State.Twenty five were killed by gunmen on June 3rd at Imamde Mbakange in Mbacher council ward in Katsina Ala local government area of the State while a personnel of the State Community Volunteer Guard was killed on June 30 in Logo local government area of the state.
But a former Governor of the state and member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, expressed concern over the banditry in the North-West and North-East which, he said constituted a serious threat to food security in Nigeria. Bafarawa said that many primary and secondary schools in Northern Nigeria had been shut down because of the activities of bandits, saying, “This is a serious disaster.”He said, “Instead of talking about cabinet, subsidy, and the economy, the government should consider food security because with the rate we are going, in the next three months, we are going to have problems in Nigeria, especially in the North West.
