One of the most frightening things about Nigeria is the attitude toward life. This otherwise beautiful country is turning into a gunman’s haven.
Our leaders, with their incompetence and lack of will, have created a theatre of blood while the people look to the heavens for protection
A fundamental responsibility of the government is to protect lives and property. That is a reasonable expectation in any society that desires progress. Society is populated and run by people, and if they continue to feel unsafe, they will either desert that society or become casualties. Either way, society loses, so most of its productive citizens will find safety elsewhere.
Another instance of the police’s appalling inefficiency is playing out in neighbouring Ogun State. Over, media reports alleged that Lekan Adekanbi, a suspect in an unimaginable New Year’s Day murder in Abeokuta, escaped from police custody. Further reports onindicated the suspect was admitted to the Police Clinic, Abeokuta. “At the hospital, Lekan pretended like he wanted to urinate and escaped,” the report inquoted an unnamed source.
To put the matter in context, this matter concerns the murder of a couple, Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye, shortly after they returned from church service early on January 1. Their assailant set their bodies on fire, who also kidnapped their surviving son, Oreoluwa. The police later recovered the young man’s body in a river. The killers wiped out a generation.
