Herdsmen attacks, Banditry attacks, armed robbery, cult clashes, kidnapping and a host of other criminal activities ravaging the country are signs of a failing government; the recent attack in Kaduna, Kastina, Niger, FCT, Abuja, Imo, Abia, Rivers, Benue and other affected states coupled with the attack at the Presidential Villa (Aso Rock) has made it more worrisome, if the Presidential villa is not safe who can attest to the safety or security of oneself in the country.
“President Buhari should grant a weekly-summary report of the state of the nation till this state of insecurity is over.”
On measures to check the current situation, the group called on the presidency, National Assembly and state assemblies to support and move for state police across the 36 states.
