LunagisthubA Call to Action: Declaring a State of Emergency on Insecurity in Nigeria
The recent attack on St. Mary’s Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Niger State, has sparked widespread outrage and concern. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has taken to social media to express his distress and call for decisive action from the Federal Government. According to Atiku, the government must declare a state of emergency on insecurity to confront the menace with the urgency it deserves
In the early hours of November 21, gunmen invaded the Catholic-owned school, arriving on over 60 motorcycles and accompanied by a van. They whisked away an unspecified number of students, leaving the community in shock. This incident is the latest in a string of attacks on educational institutions in Nigeria, highlighting the need for urgent action
Atiku’s call for a state of emergency is driven by the increasing frequency and severity of attacks on schools and communities. He questions how many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken. The former Vice President’s plea is echoed by many Nigerians who are tired of living in fear of kidnappings and attacks
The Nigerian government faces growing pressure to address the security crisis. Declaring a state of emergency on insecurity could provide the necessary powers to tackle the menace head-on. It’s time for the government to take bold action to protect its citizens and restore peace to the nation
