Horrible, worrisome, distressing are some adjectives that aptly describe the security situation in the country.
That the prison break happened few months to the 2023 general elections raised eyebrows. That four months after the attack, 546 escapees are still at large and no one has been fired for the breach of security is breeding the speculation that the operation was carried out with the imprimatur of well-placed, connected and influential persons.
Though it has been adjudged that next year’s elections will be fair, there are palpable fears about whether it will be free, not only in the sense of being devoid of electoral violence, but also devoid of any security breach that might likely result in the loss of lives. And these fears are valid, given the rampant reports of potential intensified terrorist attacks in the country three months to the presidential election.
Given the foregoing, the government’s lackadaisical approach to the infiltration of the nation’s security apparatus by terrorists beggars belief how they expect Nigerians to believe that they are committed to ensuring that the general elections will be free and fair in all ramifications. The presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna last month was reported to have been disrupted by ‘sponsored thugs’.
